LINKS TO STATE SITES Attorney General Lockyer Report on Domestic Violence Finds Criminal Justice System Is Failing to Protect Victims, Families AG's Task Force Makes 44 Recommendations to Reduce Domestic Violence July 26, 2005 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (SAN FRANCISCO) – Attorney General Bill Lockyer today released a report revealing that the criminal justice system is failing to enforce California's domestic violence laws. Joined by statewide leaders, Lockyer called for implementation of 5 key recommendations to reduce domestic abuse and challenged local law enforcement and judicial officers to increase and improve their efforts to stop the cycle of family violence. "The laws already on the books should be holding batterers accountable for their violent behavior, but the criminal justice system often fails to enforce them," Lockyer said. "System fatigue is not an excuse for domestic abuse. We are going to shift a culture of complacency into a culture of compliance." The report is based on an extensive two-year assessment by Attorney General Bill Lockyer's Task Force on Local Criminal Justice Response to Domestic Violence a 26-member group of experts and leaders in law enforcement, the courts, victim advocacy, public health and the legislature.

Search OPDV Advanced Search Introduction Laws and Regulations Training ... Links Introduction Within the past 25 years, the law enforcement and criminal justice response to domestic violence has been evolving significantly. Prior to that time, criminal justice personnel received virtually no training at all about the dynamics of domestic violence or the criminal nature of the abusive behavior. Domestic incidents were often considered "nuisance" calls, with the general response involving crisis intervention through actions such as "mediating" the situation, transporting one of the parties to another location, and walking offenders around the block to "calm down." Arrests and other sanctions that would hold offenders accountable for committing criminal behavior were seen as a last resort. The "criminalization" of domestic violence began in the late 1970's in response to civil lawsuits, policy recommendations, pressure from victims and domestic violence advocates and research findings. Many police agencies recognized the need to make changes in their responses and began to proactively effect changes in their policies and training programs. Since 1986, the Law Enforcement Policy and Training Project of the New York State Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence (OPDV) has provided training, technical assistance, and policy development support for the law enforcement community.

The Office of the University Physician and the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards have joined together to offer training for university health providers and law enforcement personnel. The sessions feature expert speakers who will address issues such as domestic violence laws, screening, identification and case management, documentation, court testimony and injury photography. "This came out of my work training law enforcement professionals in injury recognition," said University Physician Beth Alexander. "During that time I learned that law enforcement professionals and health care providers have similar needs for specific types of information in the area of domestic violence prevention and recognition." Alexander and Hermina Kramp, section chief of the Michigan Law Enforcement Officers Training Council, developed and organized the training in hopes of educating officers and medical personnel together, as well as increasing collaboration and communication among all professionals who respond to domestic violence.

ZNet InterActive by Anannya Bhattacharjee ZNet Sustainer Program March 21, 2002 The violence unleashed on September 11 has radically altered the political stage by raising questions about the relevance of routine political work in the U.S. Compared to the enormous tragedy of September 11, this year’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month (October) seems insignificant. I find myself asking: Is violence against women a relevant concern for all? Has the domestic violence movement made itself relevant to the broader calls for a safe and peaceful world? Over 1000 women are killed by their intimate partners a year. Estimates of women who are physically abused by their husband or boyfriend climb as high as three million annually. Commenting on September 11 in the context of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Esta Soler, the Executive Director of Family Violence Prevention Fund, said, "The nation has been fundamentally changed…. It will take time to understand and address all the changes, but we know that as a movement, we have to carry on because the women and children who are facing domestic violence count on us to do so." She is right, but what exactly does "carrying on" entail? How is the domestic violence movement to remain relevant considering not only the violence from military warfare, but also the danger of erosion of civil liberties which will first affect communities of color and poor people?

Evaluating Domestic Violence Programs To improve the health care response to victims of domestic violence, hospitals and health care systems are designing and implementing training, screening, and intervention programs. Formal evaluations of the programs are essential. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) developed a consensus-driven quality assessment tool for evaluation of hospital-based domestic violence programs. Dr. Jeffery H. Coben, while AHRQ's Domestic Violence Senior Scholar-in-Residence, based the instrument on the views of national experts who took part in an AHRQ-funded Delphi process. The Family Violence Prevention Fund cosponsored Dr. Coben's position. The experts achieved consensus on 37 performance measures, which have been expanded into a working instrument. The measures are in the form of questions, each with a list of possible responses.
