Notes:	Outlines the methodology and results of a study conducted in Boston, USA, aimed at exploring what domestic violence victims want from police, their experiences in obtaining what they want and their overall perception the helpfulness of police following a domestic violence incident. The various factors that influence victims’ perceptions were also examined and while the findings were mixed, the results suggest a major area in which police lack both the resources and skills to assist victims is in referral to counselling and other support services.
