Methodological Challenges in Determining the Effectiveness of Intimate Partner Violence Perpetrator Programmes: A Systematic Review
Previous reviews of the effectiveness of intimate partner violence (IPV) programmes have shown mixed results. A systematic review with narrative synthesis was conducted to understand the methodological challenges in determining the effectiveness of IPV perpetrator programmes. A two-stage search strategy was employed. Firstly, a systematic search was conducted across six electronic databases: CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Global Health, ASSIA, and We…
Specialist policing units as a pathway towards procedural justice for domestic abuse victims
The available research on specialist policing responses to violence against women and girls highlights multiple benefits. However, there is limited evidence about the key features of specialist units, the specific mechanisms that lead to improved outcomes, and the extent to which procedural justice theory can be seen to underpin specialist alternatives to ‘business as usual’ policing approaches. This paper advances knowledge on the topic of speci…
Differences between Recidivists and Non-recidivists Attending a community-based Domestic Violence Perpetrator Program in the Dominican Republic: A Brief Report
Purpose Previous research in Western samples has found differences between recidivists and non- recidivists among individuals who attended intervention programs designed to reduce intimate partner violence (IPV) offending. However, the extent to which similar characteristics differentiate these groups in a non-Western sample is unknown. Methods This brief report includes data collected by psychologists from men referred to a cognitive behavioral …
Process evaluation of a community-based domestic violence perpetrator programme in the Dominican Republic
Although Batterer Intervention Programs (BIPs) are a common approach for addressing intimate partner violence (IPV), their effectiveness remains questioned. Characteristics of BIPs’ implementation are recognised as consequential, but studies remain scarce and are mainly from high-income countries. To address this gap, a process evaluation was conducted to identify facilitators and barriers to BIP implementation in the Dominican Republic. Semi-str…
Impacts from delivering a whole health response strategy to domestic violence and abuse: An evaluation from the UK
In this brief report, we evaluate Health Pathfinder, a ‘whole health response’ to domestic violence and abuse (DVA) in the United Kingdom. We used two national datasets: monitoring data for high-risk cases, and a service-level database used to track the performance of DVA services across the UK. Drawing on a comparative interrupted time series analysis over 2018–2019, we considered the impact of implementation in each of the eight sites on rate o…
A Realist Evaluation of a “Whole Health” Response to Domestic Violence and Abuse in the UK
Health Pathfinder is a multilevel system change intervention initiated to transform the health response to domestic violence and abuse in eight sites in England. The current study drew upon interviews with health professionals ( n = 27) and victim-survivors ( n = 20) to provide a realist account of how this intervention achieved its goals. Findings show that five change mechanisms explain why Health Pathfinder was effective as an ecological inter…
What Is Justice? Perspectives of Victims-Survivors of Gender-Based Violence
This article explores “how do victims-survivors of gender-based violence (GBV) experience and perceive justice?” based on interviews with 251 victims-survivors with experience of different types of GBV and criminal, civil, and family justice systems. Victims-survivors were found to have multiple perceptions of justice, related to different points in their journey following abuse and regarding individual, community, and societal responses. Percept…
General Offending and Intimate Partner Violence Perpetration in Young Adulthood: A Dutch Longitudinal Study
This study examines the relationship between general offending and intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration in young adulthood, using a Dutch longitudinal study. Young adults were followed over four waves, and self-reported data on general offending, IPV perpetration, and a number of individual characteristics were collected. Results of random effects models demonstrated that young adults involved in more diverse offending behavior reported h…
Claiming justice: Victims of crime and their perspectives of justice
‘Victims claiming justice’ has surface simplicity but arises in a range of contexts influenced by different histories, facing different institutions offering different possibilities. It is this tremendous range of contexts and characteristics that has engaged researchers. Most have taken the idea of justice as a given. As guest editors of this symposium on justice, we sought to delve into deeper and under-explored dimensions including the interco…
Systematically identifying and prioritising domestic abuse perpetrators for targeted intervention
International research finds that the majority of harm from crime can be attributed to a small proportion of perpetrators. Accurately identifying these individuals as priorities for intervention can lead to significant harm reduction. A new method, the Priority Perpetrator Identification Tool, was implemented in three police force areas of England and Wales. Additional investment, restructuring of units and the development of bespoke policies and…
Making connections: A multi-disciplinary analysis of domestic homicide, mental health homicide and adult practice reviews
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to “read across” a sample of domestic homicide reviews (DHRs), mental health homicide reviews (MHHRs) and adult practice reviews (APR) to identify the cross-cutting themes. Design/methodology/approach The study involved a qualitative comparative analysis of 20 Welsh reviews: 10 DHRs, 6 APRs and 4 MHHRs. Each review was triple coded by a multi-disciplinary team of researchers (representing criminology, social w…
Practitioner (mis)understandings of coercive control in England and Wales
Coercive control is harmful behaviour recently criminalized in England and Wales. The extent to which the work of practitioners is informed by an understanding of coercive control therefore requires investigation. Using data from two mixed methods multi-site studies, this article suggests that practitioners’ recognition of coercive control does not seem to be universally poor or skilled, but rather depends on the characteristics of the situation …
A small constellation: Risk factors informing police perceptions of domestic abuse
Police in the United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK) now routinely use risk assessment tools to identify common risk factors for re-abuse and lethality when responding to domestic abuse. Nevertheless, little is known about the extent to which officers understand and perceive the importance of factors commonly included on risk assessment tools for predicting future abuse. This study attempts to shed some light into this area of research by…
Under the radar: Policing non-violent domestic abuse in the US and UK
Physical violence is but one of many tools that may be used to gain greater power within intimate relationships, yet the legal response has been critiqued for failing to recognise and respond to the full spectrum of abusive behaviours, such as coercive control. Using a sample of police officers from the United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK), the current study utilises hypothetical vignettes to assess police officers’ perceptions of domes…
Responding Effectively to Women Experiencing Severe Abuse: Identifying Key Components of a British Advocacy Intervention
This article presents key findings from a multisite evaluation of Independent Domestic Violence Advisor (IDVA) services--a form of intervention targeted specifically at women experiencing severe domestic abuse. Results highlight the complex lives of women accessing these services and the efforts of IDVAs to connect women with multiple community resources. Women remaining engaged with services reported positive safety outcomes. Frequency of contac…
The ill-treatment of employees with disabilities in British workplaces
There are few quantitative studies that show the workplace is experienced in a different way by employees with disabilities. This article fills this gap using data from the British Workplace Behaviour Survey, which found that employees with disabilities and long-term illnesses were more likely to suffer ill-treatment in the workplace and experienced a broader range of ill-treatment. Different types of disability were associated with different typ…
Trouble at Work
Trouble in the workplace – whether it is bullying, harassment or stress – is always in the headlines. Yet, in many discussions, the research and statistics that are cited prove unreliable. This book summarises the largest specialist research programme on ill-treatment in the workplace so far undertaken. It provides a powerful antidote to half-truths and misinformation and offers a new way of conceptualizing trouble at work, moving the discussion …
Different yet complementary: Two approaches to supporting victims of sexual violence in the UK
This article explores the strengths and limitations of two different types of settings that provide specialist support to victims of sexual violence in the UK: Sexual Assault Referral Centres (SARCs) and voluntary sector organizations such as Rape Crisis. Qualitative data from six case study sites and quantitative data from 35 sexual violence projects in England and Wales revealed that the type of setting affected the types of referrals received …
Factors influencing police performance in the investigation of volume crimes in England and Wales
This paper examines the investigation of volume crime cases and the processes of attrition through the investigative process using quantitative and qualitative data. More than 3000 burglary and motor vehicle cases in eight Basic Command Units in England and Wales, along with interview and documentary data, were analysed to identify the factors related to detection. Results indicated that whether an offender was caught at the scene; number of sour…
Researching workplace bullying: The benefits of taking an integrated approach
This paper explores the difficulties encountered by researchers attempting to measure the prevalence of negative workplace behaviours and how these might be overcome. Drawing on the first stage of a major ESRC‐funded study of workplace behaviours in Britain, we demonstrate the importance of improved sampling and data collection methods. We show how judicious use of qualitative data derived from cognitive testing of survey questions can improve su…
Multi‐Agency Work on Sexual Violence: Challenges and Prospects Identified From the Implemenation of a Sexual Assault Referral Centre (Sarc)
The current policy climate in Britain requires that agencies work together to improve their performance and provide a better service to clients. This is especially apparent in recent initiatives designed to improve the services afforded to victims of crime. Whilst there is an established literature dealing with both the potential benefits of, and challenges posed by, multi-agency work (for example, Crawford 1997; Hughes 2007; Maguire 2004; Pearso…
The Challenge of Responding Effectively to Violence Against Women in a Global Context
This special issue sought to identify and report empirical evidence gathered from countries around the world that demonstrates what effective steps we could take when responding to violence against women (VAW). More specifically, the aims of this special issue were twofold: (1) to showcase criminal justice responses that might significantly decrease rates of VAW, and (2) to expand the intellectual discussion beyond the criminal justice system tow…
Improving the Civil‐Criminal Interface for Victims of Domestic Violence
This exploratory study investigated the ‘interface’ between the civil and criminal courts in Cardiff using information from victims of domestic violence, advocates, and solicitors. The ‘interface’ between civil and criminal courts is completely dependent upon the advocates that support victims through the legal process, rather than any formal policy or procedure. Whilst in Cardiff these arrangements appear to be effective, developing the interfac…
The Perceptions of High-Risk Victims of Domestic Violence to a Coordinated Community Response in Cardiff, Wales
Research was conducted with very high-risk victims of domestic violence to determine their levels of revictimization one year after being referred to a Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference (MARAC) and their perceptions of this type of intervention. The MARACs provide increased and ongoing communication between agencies and victims, risk assessments, advocacy to victims, help translating policy into action, and help in holding perpetrators to a…
Reducing Repeat Victimization Among High-Risk Victims of Domestic Violence: The Benefits of a Coordinated Community Response in Cardiff, Wales
The goal of Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conferences (MARACs) is to provide a forum for sharing information and taking actions to reduce harm to high-risk domestic violence victims. Interviews with participants and victims, observations, and police data reveal how the MARACs work in practice and also what they can accomplish. Results showed MARACs to be invaluable: Agencies assisted victims more efficiently, primarily through enhanced information…

Conflicting Consensus: Public Reaction to a Domestic Violence Pro-Arrest Policy
Limited research exists on the extent to which the public supports the criminalization of domestic violence, and whether people believe police pro-arrest policies will deter future offending. Based on conflict theory, it is hypothesized that there will be differences in support for criminalization between powerful (i.e., middle to upper class Caucasian men) and less powerful demographic groups (i.e., women, minorities, and the economically and ed…
Differential Police Response to Black Battered Women
As the experiences of black battered women with the police remain an underresearched issue, the current study focuses on the police arrest decision for these victims compared to other victims. Two important research questions are answered: (1) is the arrest rate for black battered women significantly lower compared to other domestic violence victims, and (2) are there different factors influencing the police decision to arrest for these victims c…
