dc.description.notesGeneral Overview: This UK document reports on the lessons from the Domestic Violence Enforcement Campaign (DVEC).<br/ ><br/ >Objectives: The DVECs aim at improving police performance in relation to evidence gathering and enforcement, so as to increase the number of offenders brought to justice. There are three main areas that formed the intentions of the campaign:<br/ ><br/ >Methods: Before the campaign started, two planning conferences were held. At the end of the first DVEC, participating Basic Command Units (BCUs) attended a ‘lessons learned’ conference to share good practice and to review the outcome of the campaign. The ‘lessons learned’ were implemented in a second DVEC, which was held in BCUs that were part of the TVCP (Tackling Violent Crime Programme) and SDVC (Specialist Domestic Violence Court) programmes.<br/ ><br/ >Discussion: Lessons and recommendations are made with regard to call handling, evidence gathering and the targeting of prolific offenders. Other issues (such as partnership, domestic violence risk assessments, crown prosecution services, media and marketing), the way forward (multi-agency risk assessment conferences or MARACs, specialist domestic violence courts, clear leadership, national intelligence model or NIM problem profiles, domestic violence champions and training, specialist investigators, evidence of bad character, hearsay evidence, cautioning domestic violence offenders), relevant legislation, data returns are looked at.<br/ ><br/ >Results: The data indicates that domestic violence incidents are more likely to take place during evening periods with peaks from 18.00 to midnight from Sunday to Thursday and from 18.00 to 03.00 on Friday and Saturday. Data shows that in the majority of cases when police were called to domestic incidents, a recordable crime had not been committed. There is a strong indication that across the areas in both campaigns, the prevalence of domestic violence incidents was significantly higher on the days of England matches than during the first DVEC. The data during the World Cup DVEC supports previous research linking major sporting events to increases in violent crime, including domestic violence.<br/ ><br/ >Conclusions: The results from the two campaigns are found to be encouraging as they show that during the second campaign, there was a higher tendency for offenders to be charged rather than cautioned. There was a lower rate of ‘no further action’ and in ‘bail over four weeks’. The second campaign coincided with the FIFA World Cup Finals. The results support research that suggests a link between sporting events, alcohol use and domestic violence.en
