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.

The Murder of In the Wake of Macias: How Does Law Enforcement Respond to Domestic Violence Today? More than three years after Teresa Macias' murder put the lie to local law enforcement's claims that they take domestic violence seriously, a host of new programs and people have been put in place to improve the county's handling of this deadly violence against women. But just how differently is a domestic violence victim today treated by police, sheriff's deputies and the D.A.'s office? Before you get ready to congratulate us on a job well done and move on to other things, get a load of this: Restraining Orders But what killed Teresa Macias wasn't that she couldn't get a restraining order, it was sheriff's deputies' utter refusal to enforce it. And that hasn't changed one bit. To this day, we have never seen a perpetrator arrested if his only crime was a restraining order violation. Both of the other victim advocates in the county report the same. Often an arrest isn't made even after 10 or 15 violations are reported; and the victim is more than likely to be told that she is somehow to blame. No doubt, as with Avelino Macias, perpetrators are only emboldened by this failure to enforce the law.

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.
