| dc.description.notes | This US study investigated whether alcohol use and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) were associated with domestic violence by police officers. The study was based on an anonymous questionnaire completed by 853 police officers enrolled in an online training course run by the Law Enforcement Families Partnership (LEFP). The LEFP is an initiative to address domestic violence in police families in Florida (US).<br/ ><br/ >The study found that 28.6% of the 853 officers who responded to the survey had been physically violent towards an intimate partner or family member. PTSD was significantly correlated with use of domestic violence, with officers experiencing PTSD four times more likely to report using domestic violence. Alcohol use was also correlated: officers who engaged in hazardous drinking with four times more likely to report violence, while those engaged in dependent drinking were eight times more likely to report domestic violence.<br/ ><br/ >The article outlines recommendations and strategies for addressing police officers' use of domestic violence, drawing on the model developed by the LEFP. | en |
