Notes:  The Domestic Violence and Repeat Victimisation project was commissioned as part of the Home Office Police Research Group programme on repeat victimisation in the UK and draws on earlier research by the West Yorkshire Police. The aim of the project was to reduce repeat victimisation through a three-tiered programme of operational interventions. Actions at each of the 3 levels of intervention are described. An equal focus on the victimised woman as on the offending man is required in order to set up an interactive crime prevention approach which both protects the victims and demotivates the offender. The programme required police officers to pro-actively ensure the safety of the victims and develop close interagency involvement. Achievements included: reduced repeat victimisation through early intervention; systematic identification of repeat offenders; women encouraged to ask for assistance; identified factors associated and not associated with repeat victimisation; developed recording categories for domestic violence; and improved interagency communication and co-operation.
