| dc.description.notes | Discusses the implementation of two domestic violence research studies from the US, highlighting some of the difficulties associated with developing, implementing and running research experiments in the criminal justice setting. The first examined the impact court-mandated counselling has on the likelihood of future violence. The second aimed to determine whether arrest for domestic violence coupled with prosecution and victim empowerment was more effective in reducing violence than arrest alone. A brief description of each of the studies is provided and the major problems encountered are identified. These include gaining and maintaining agency cooperation, problems in sample size due to overestimation of target population, resistance/hostility of various agencies, hostility engendered by the political context, high staff turnover and a lack of researcher control over critical aspects of the experimental process. Some suggestions for preventing and/or overcoming some of these problems are then provided and it is concluded that with careful planning and preparation, experimental research can be implemented successfully, eliciting valuable information for those working in welfare, health or legal professions | en |
