Notes:	General Overview: This Australian Domestic and Family Violence Clearinghouse Stakeholder Paper explores policy, practice and policing issues relating to dual arrests in the context of domestic violence. Discussion: In this paper, the authors explore the issue of dual arrest for domestic violence, factors contributing to its occurrence, the implications for victims and strategies employed to address this practice. The situational factors, policing policies, practices and views that contribute to dual arrest for domestic violence are examined. Men’s and women’s use of domestic violence in relationships is considered and the dynamic of control and fear is explored. Reforms to policing policies and practices introduced in Australia and elsewhere are considered in terms of their ability to minimise the occurrence of dual arrest. While there has been little research around this issue in Australia, there has been significant debate elsewhere, particularly in the United States of America (USA). The paper draws significantly on this international research.
