Violence in Families: Assessing Prevention and Treatment Programs

Evaluation method Table 5B - 3 shows eight arrest ratings that meet the criteria for participating in the committee.

Minneapolis' domestic violence experiments are one of the first and most widely cited and most influential criminal justice experiments in the field of domestic violence research (Sherman and Berk, 1984a). In this survey it was assumed that (1) arrested the suspect, (2) order one of them to leave the residence, (3) randomly assign one of the three treatments ing. Advise the couple. Through an official interview with the victim and subsequent contact with the police, the researchers found that as criminal suspects were arrested, the prevalence of follow-up crime (including strikes, attempted strikes, property damage) decreased by about 50% (Sherman and Berk, 1984a: 267)) It is important to emphasize that the experiment only contains minor violations. This is an eligibility criterion for narrowing the universality of the experiment to a felony lawsuit with severe assault or rape.

Research results were widely published (Sherman and Cohn, 1989). The U.S. Attorney General's Committee on Domestic Violence approved the results of this investigation and recommended that state and local agencies adopt the spouse's strike policy (United States Attorney General, 1984). After paying attention to the results of this investigation, the US metropolitan cities and police stations in small cities reported significant changes in formal policies consistent with the findings (Sherman and Cohn, 1989).

The Minneapolis experiment is to change the perception of the general public and scholars about attacks by non-family spouses, from family problems (Bard and Zacker, 1971) suitable for mediation and other informal illegal interventions to violations It is an important event of. The law of formal criminal justice sanctions. However, a recent report on the deterrent effect of the Minneapolis trial was influenced by subsequent criticism of design constraints and the claim that it goes beyond its conclusion (Binder and Meeker, 1992). Reproduction of the Minneapolis experiment was conducted in five jurisdictions (see Table 5B-3): Omaha, Nebraska (Dunford et al., 1990); Charlotte, North Carolina (Hirschel and Hutchison, 1992). Florida Dade County (Pate and Hamilton, 1992); Colorado Springs, Colorado (Berk et al., 1992a). These five studies, collectively referred to as SARP (spousal assault reproductive program), are designed to have consciously similar characteristics: arrest as a selected therapeutic intervention, common eligibility criteria (slight Domestic violence cases), victim's reports and police use reports serve as a measure of the outcome, and use of random assignments. The implementation of each survey differs in five places, some of which are mandated by local laws, and it is possible to obtain general insights from five jurisdictions with the form of shared design and common measures I can do it.

None of the five replication experiments showed that arrest itself itself usually reduces subsequent violence. Survey results on specific deterrence

Domestic violence must first carefully study the success and failure of domestic violence interventions. It provides guidance on services, plans, policies and research for victim assistance and assistance, treatment and punishment of criminals, and advice of law enforcement agencies. This includes analysis of over 100 valuation studies on various types of planning and service outcomes. Domestic violence provides so far the most comprehensive review of subjects. It explores the scope and complexity of domestic violence, including identifying multiple types of victims and criminals that require different interventions. The book outlines a promising method for service providers and researchers and a new strategy for improving prevention and treatment service assessment.
