Methodologies include literature review; police interviews, focus groups; consultations with domestic violence agencies and legal services; survey of victims; and data from Queensland Police Service to analyse the nature of domestic violence calls and the workload of police officers.<br/ ><br/ >Main findings include: domestic violence takes up a considerable amount of police officer’s time; police officers’ decisions at domestic violence incidents are influenced by situational factors such as the seriousness of victims’ injuries, the use of a weapon and the seriousness of the offence, as well as the officers’ prior experience and belief that victims do not wish offenders charged or will likely drop charges.<br/ ><br/ >Barriers to effective police response are: managing repeat victimisation; processes involved in applying for a protection order; administrative requirements; dealing with breaches; and the workload of prosecutors. Victims’ experiences with police show that only half were satisfied with the police response. Many felt the officers did not take the matter seriously and took too long to arrive. A number of victims wanted police to arrest but this did not happen, and some experienced physical assault that required medical attention yet few offenders were charged with a criminal offence. Less reliance was put on conducting investigations and collecting evidence to proceed with criminal charges where appropriate, rather protection order was the primary response to domestic violence incidents. | en |
