| dc.description.notes | Outlines the findings of a study which looks at the experiences of battered woman in relation to police responses to domestic violence calls for assistance, in a Florida county. The US study found that arrests of domestic violence offenders were minimal, despite the preferred arrest policy of the county. It appeared that police were reluctant to arrest offenders for several reasons: cultural beliefs about the rights of husbands to punish their wives; fear of attack from the abuser; perceptions that family violence is a private matter; and the political tensions between police administrators and line officers. Concludes with a discussion of the implications of the results of the study to future policy and police response to situations of domestic violence. | en |
