This book is dedicated to improving the practice of the policing of
domestic abuse. Its objective is to help inform those working in
policing about the dynamics of how domestic abuse occurs, how best
to respond to and investigate it, and in the longer term how to
prevent it. Divided into thematic areas, the book uses recent
research findings to update some of the theoretical analysis and to
highlight areas of good practice: 'what works and why'. An
effective investigation and the prosecution of offenders are
considered, as well as an evaluation of the success of current
treatment options. Policing domestic abuse can only be dealt with
through an effective partnership response. The responsibilities of
each agency and the statutory processes in place when policy is not
adhered to are outlined. Core content includes: A critique of
definitions and theoretical approaches to domestic abuse, including
coverage of the myths surrounding domestic abuse and their impact
on policing. An exploration on the challenges of collecting data on
domestic abuse, looking at police data and the role of health and
victim support services. A critical review of different forms of
abuse, different perpetrators and victims, and risk assessment
tools used by the police. A critical examination of the law
relating to domestic abuse; how police resources are deployed to
respond to and manage it; and best practice in investigation,
gathering evidence, and prosecution Key perspectives on preventing
domestic abuse, protecting victims, and reducing harm. Written with
the student and budding practitioner in mind, this book is filled
with case studies, current research, reports, and media examples,
as well as a variety of reflective questions and a glossary of key
terms, to help shed light on the challenges of policing domestic
violence and the links between academic research and best practice.
