238	238	18 double jeopardy.

331	331	3 of this subsection (g).
332	332	4 (3) To the extent permitted by law, the court is
333	333	5 encouraged to:
334	334	6 (i) increase the penalty for the knowing violation

337	337	9 protective order or penal statute involving petitioner
338	338	10 as victim and respondent as defendant;
339	339	11 (ii) impose a minimum penalty of 24 hours
340	340	12 imprisonment for respondent's first violation of any
341	341	13 protective order; and

343	343	15 imprisonment for respondent's second or subsequent
344	344	16 violation of a protective order
345	345	17 unless the court explicitly finds that an increased
346	346	18 penalty or that period of imprisonment would be manifestly
347	347	19 unjust.
348	348	20 (4) In addition to any other penalties imposed for a
349	349	21 violation of a protective order, a criminal court may
350	350	22 consider evidence of any violations of a protective order:
