Hart Minnesota Center Against Violence and Abuse Publication Date: Table of Contents Assessing Whether Batterers Will Kill Battered Women and the Criminal Justice System BARRIERS TO VICTIM PARTICIPATION IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM STRATEGIES TO FACILITATE VICTIM PARTICIPATION ... Conclusion Assessing Whether Batterers Will Kill Some batterers are life-endangering. While it is true that all batterers are dangerous, some are more likely to kill than others and some are more likely to kill at specific times. Regardless of whether there is a protection from abuse order in effect, officers should evaluate whether an assailant is likely to kill his* partner or other family members and/or police personnel and take appropriate action. Assessment is tricky and never fool-proof. It is important to conduct an assessment at every call, no matter how many times an officer has responded to the same household. The dispatcher and responding officer can utilize the indicators described below in making an assessment of the batterer's potential to kill. Considering these factors may or may not reveal actual potential for homicidal assault. But, the likelihood of a homicide is greater when these factors are present . The greater the number of indicators that the batterer demonstrates or the greater the intensity of indicators, the greater the likelihood of a life-threatening attack.

School Crisis Search NCCEV Home Initiatives Child Development – Community Policing Program Components Initiatives CD-CP Replication Sites The goal of the Child Development - Community Policing Program (CD-CP) is to heal the wounds that chronic exposure to violence inflicts on children and families. The CD-CP Program is a national model of a collaborative alliance among law enforcement, juvenile justice, domestic violence, medical and mental health professionals, child welfare, schools and other community agencies. The CD-CP Program was launched in 1991 as a partnership between the City of New Haven , the New Haven Department of Police Service and the Yale Child Study Center Now replicated in communities nationwide, the CD-CP Program is a model for collaborative intervention programs, providing opportunities to develop prompt and effective ways to assist children and families exposed to violence, as well as to better understand the relationship between a child's exposure to violence and traumatic stress symptoms. With a primary emphasis on the child's perspective, CD-CP has changed the traditional way that services are delivered. Thanks to the innovative work that has been done by the Yale Child Study Center's CD-CP Program over the past decade, we continue to advance our understanding of the effects of violence on children and how to break the cycle.

About us Resource Center Initiatives Catastropic Events ... School Violence Search NCCEV Home Domestic Violence On this page Relevant Websites Statistics In the Literature Reports ... Journal Articles Each year, an estimated 3 to 10 million children witness assaults against a parent by an intimate partner.(Straus, 1992) Domestic violence does not discriminate across lines of race, culture, nationality or gender. It occurs at the same rate in both homosexual and heterosexual relationships (Mills et al., 2000). The experience of family violence can be among the most disturbing for children because both victims and aggressors are the adults who care for them and who are most closely attached to them. For many of these children, violence interrupts their experience of consistent safety and care, and creates an environment of uncertainty and helplessness. Children who are exposed to domestic violence, especially repeated incidents of violence, are at risk for many difficulties, both immediately and in the future. These include problems with sleeping, eating and other basic bodily functions; depression, aggressiveness, anxiety and other problems in regulating emotions; difficulties with family and peer relationships; and problems with attention, concentration and school performance. In order to minimize the risk of long-term damage, child witnesses to domestic violence need the safety and security of their environment to be restored. Children exposed to domestic violence also need support from the adults around them, most importantly their own parents or other primary caregivers.
