dc.description.notesPolicies relating to domestic violence tend to lean toward arrests, as it sends the message that domestic violence is unacceptable. This article clarifies existing findings and examines factors which may influence police decisions under a pro-arrest policy. Reviews previous research, broadly categorised into three areas: demographic, attitudinal or situational. A US study using a sample of 229 domestic violence complaints was included in the research. Data were collected from forms completed by police officers, as well as obtaining each officer’s demographic information. Results support findings of previous studies, whereby situational characteristics are seen as more accurate predictors of arrest decisions than are attitudes of individual officers.en
