Also published in Western State University Law Review:, Spring 1993 [ISSN 0362-8892]. In the last twenty years, the battered women’s movement in the USA has impacted on the way domestic violence cases have been prosecuted. This paper describes the authors’ experiences in setting up the two largest law enforcement-related Domestic Violence Units in the USA, the San Diego Police Department’s Domestic Violence Unit and the San Diego City Attorney’s Domestic Violence Unit, both now seen as a model approach for that nation. Five major trends in the investigation and prosecution of domestic violence are discussed. These are: establishing coordinated community responses; designing early intervention strategies; developing a focus on the abuser rather than the victim; eliminating victim blaming policies; and creating long-term accountability for the abuser within the system.
