It is pretty close to a career ending issue - more serious than a torn ACL - broken leg. The problem is the guy loses his career even if the law has not been broken. There is such a thing as aggravated assault - why not investigate these incidents to determine the level of aggravation to the domestic incident.
The performance enhancing drug issue is trying to cope with the problem with periodic drug testing. Could every player go through counseling sessions to determine if they need to practice on how to handle a screaming, kicking - female without losing their temper. That being said - are most of the domestic incidents - alcohol related?
The penalty technique just is not working - it is a big problem and will not get better because anger is addictive.
