Offender-focused prosecution concentrates attention to the actions,
decisions, choices, and motivations of the offender. Crimes of
intimate violence tend to compel investigators, prosecutors, and
defense attorneys to fixate on the victim’s behavior to prove or
disprove a case. Prosecutors become helpless faced with
uncooperative victims, challenging facts, or attacks on the
victims’ credibility prosecution can rely on evidence and
offender-focused interviewing, investigation, and case
construction. This book will offer investigators and prosecutors
concrete information and techniques to construct and present
offender focused cases in crimes of intimate violence. First we
will challenge the reader’s biases and assumptions about intimate
violence, providing information that will dispel pervasive myths
and misinformation we maintain. We will explain the motivations and
techniques that offenders use on their victims to ensure the
victims’ silence, compliance, and resistance to prosecution. The
second section will address specific steps that investigators and
prosecutors can take for offender-focused prosecution, including
interviewing practices, conducting evidence-based investigations,
selecting and preparing a jury, and building an offender-focused
prosecution through the case. The reader will be offered practical
and attainable practices and skills. This book will be primarily
intended for investigators or prosecutors. However, it will be
accessible to paralegals, victim advocates, judges, and others
involved in the criminal justice system to utilize.
