Police Response To Children Present At Domestic Violence Incidents, Danielle Darlene Swerin
Police Response To Children Present At Domestic Violence Incidents, Danielle Darlene Swerin
Boise State University Theses and Dissertations
Police response to domestic violence incidents has continued to change and expand in the past several decades. Although domestic violence was originally considered a private matter not warranting police intervention, it now represents one of the most common calls for service received by police agencies. While police intervention in domestic violence incidents has improved substantially, response to children present remains an undeveloped area of research and practice. The present study examined 345 police reports from an agency in the Northwest in order to explore police response to domestic violence incidents and specifically their response to children. Similar to results from …
