dc.description.notesDescribes and critiques the development, in Britain and the US, of two new approaches to the prevention of domestic violence – pro-arrest policies and perpetrator programmes. Utilising results obtained from evaluations conducted in North America, the pros and cons of each approach are explored and their relevance to the British context highlighted. In relation to pro-arrest policies, it is argued that although the coordination of criminal justice responses with services provided by other legal, welfare and advocacy agencies appears to be effective, criminal justice policies alone are inadequate. In relation to batterers’ programmes, it is suggested that evaluating the success of these programmes is problematic. Contends that both approaches represent valuable initiatives but should not be allowed to overshadow the necessity for developing integrated community responses that prioritise accountability to women and children and a funding framework to support such responses.en
