This forms part of a series of guides on problem oriented policing produced by the US Department of Justice.

The guide begins by defining domestic violence and the extent of the problem, before canvassing various theories about the causes and risk factors involved. It outlines how to understand domestic violence as a local issue. It discusses stakeholders, how to ask the right questions and offers a guide to measuring the effectiveness of one’s actions. Various responses available are outlined, including ineffective and effective responses.
