Notes:	Presents the findings of a study aimed at assessing the effectiveness of a trial community alarm system adapted to protect adult and child victims of domestic violence and assist them to remain living in their own homes. Combining both quantitative and qualitative research methods, the study examined the cost effectiveness of domestic violence alarms, advantages and disadvantages from the perspective of service providers, and the experiences/perceptions of service users with regard to alarm systems. The findings suggest that, while the alarm system may be a helpful tool, it is an inadequate deterrent for perpetrators and does not significantly improve interagency cooperation. A combination of strategies for ensuring victim and child safety is suggested.
