| dc.description.notes | This article looks at court dispositions and domestic violence recidivism where disposition effectiveness varies by offender characteristics. This study analysed 3,662 persons arrested for misdemeanour domestic violence assaults in Ohio, US. A literature review is provided. It found that rearrest likelihoods depend on the stage of non-conviction as well as the formal sanction associated with a conviction. Evidence for the advantage of probation over other dispositions conflicts with some previous research. However, the non-significant difference between the effects of probation versus the intervention programme is consistent with previous research. Findings are consistent with previous research that treated offenders with priors were more likely to recidivate. A higher risk of subsequent violence could arise among habitual offenders in treatment programmes because victims may stay with their partners under the false belief that counselling or treatment will be successful. The authors found that the less severe interventions (no filed charges, trial acquittals, and treatment) may do more harm for persons with more priors whereas severe interventions (probation and split sentences) may have beneficial effects. The findings also indicated that certain forms of leniency toward arrestees with higher status may hinder the effective control of subsequent domestic violence. | en |
