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.

Understanding Victims of Interpersonal Violence: A Guide for
Investigators and Prosecutors provides accessible information for
criminal justice personnel "in the trenches" with victims of
violence to aid in understanding and explaining their behavior.
This guide sheds light on interpersonal violence victims' decisions
and actions by providing context and naming factors that commonly
impact victim responses. These include internal factors such as
culture, religion, shame, and personality, as well as external
factors like access to services, support systems, and resources.
These factors inhibit or facilitate responses like disclosure,
resistance, and participation (or lack thereof) in the prosecution
of the offenders. This book also explores the influence of the
perpetrator, as well as more deeply examining victim responses that
typically offer challenges to investigators and prosecutors; for
example, continued contact with the offender, lack of resistance,
and issues in disclosure. Finally, the guide provides concrete
tools to assist investigators in interviewing and for prosecutors
to use during the prosecutorial process. This book is designed for
investigators, prosecutors, advocates, criminal justice
practitioners, and students of these subjects.
