Authors:	Shepard, Melanie
Keywords:	Interagency work

Publisher:	VAWnet Library
Notes:	Summarises and analyses research on coordinated responses to domestic violence in the United States. Begins by describing the three most common mechanisms for coordinated responses: community intervention projects, of which the Duluth Domestic Abuse Intervention Project is the best known; criminal justice based reform project; and coordinating councils. Notes that most research to date has evaluated individual components of the coordinated response, such as the impact of arrest, leading to increasing calls for study of the combined effects of community interventions. Provides a brief summary of the results of the system-wide evaluations which are available. Finds modest evidence of coordinated responses reducing future incidences of violence. Also reports preliminary findings that coordinated responses are less effective with men who have had previous contact with the criminal justice system.
