Since empirical research on domestic violence began in the 1970s,
it has become clear that without intervention, significant
percentages of domestic violence cases escalate into more serious
incidents. However, with the exception of cases resulting in
homicides, there are no reliable criminal justice statistics that
document the rates of serious domestic violence incidents. What,
then, are the most effective means--in terms of safety and cost--of
protecting victims? Featuring writings from noted contributors, Do
Arrests and Restraining Orders Work? grapples with the markedly
different results of research and analyses on the effectiveness of
arrests and restraining orders. This probing volume examines the
proper role of arrest and the degree to which the criminal justice
system can rely on restraining orders to prevent domestic and other
kinds of violence. Representing a wide array of research methods,
the chapters include a variety of perspectives, including those
from police, prosecutors, the judiciary, and probation officers.
Timely and provocative, Do Arrests and Restraining Orders Work?
asks the challenging questions that will help the criminal justice
system move toward effective solutions. This volume is an excellent
resource for students as well as researchers and academics in
criminology and for a wide array of criminal justice professionals,
including police management personnel, attorneys, and policymakers.
