    Prosecutorial Decision Making in Domestic Violence Cases: Are Prosecutors Holding Offenders Accountable?
    SAGE Publications ; 2023

    Abstract: Domestic violence (DV) continues is an ongoing costly issue for the criminal justice system, Research indicates the prosecutor’s filing decision is important to keeping DV victims safe, but there is little research examining prosecutorial filing decisions in DV cases. This study used focal concerns as a theoretical framework to explore which legal and extra-legal factors impact prosecutorial filing decisions in DV cases. The study utilized data collected from 731 misdemeanor and felony DV cases from an urban County in Florida between January 2017 – December 2018. Two binomial logistic regression models were used to predict the likelihood a DV case would be filed on any charge, filed on a DV specific charge or not filed. Results showed some support for focal concerns but findings suggest that factors impacting this decision vary based upon case severity (i.e. misdemeanor, felony). A weapon present decreased the filing likelihood for misdemeanor cases but victim requests not to prosecute and a public attorney decreased filing likelihood for felonies. The prosecutor’s decision to file charges is a powerful tool to keep victims safe and should be based on legal facts and risk of future harm, but here these factors had little to no impact on this decision.

    Deconstructing the “Power and Control Motive”: Moving Beyond a Unidimensional View of Power in Domestic Violence Theory
    Springer Publishing Company ; 2015

    Abstract: Despite the increased social recognition, law and policy changes within the criminal justice system, and the widespread use of court mandated batterer intervention programs (BIPs) domestic violence continues to be a persistent problem. The lack of significant decline in incidence rates along with a growing body of empirical evidence that indicates BIPs are, at best, only moderately effective raises serious concern. Effective policies and programs should be based on empirically tested theory. The assertion “the batterer’s motive is power and control” has become fundamental to many of the currently used BIPs and accepted mainstream theoretical explanations regarding domestic violence. However, the domestic violence literature has not yet advanced any specific conceptualizations of power, it has not produced a theoretical model of power that articulates why or how power specifically acts as a motive for a batterer, nor has it empirically tested this fundamental assertion. The main goal of this article is to take a step toward addressing this gap and advance our current understanding of an individual’s sense of power and control as a motive for using violence against an intimate partner. Specifically, it will review the pertinent literature regarding power and domestic violence, propose a new theoretical construct called internal power , and discuss internal power’s application to understanding a batterer’s “power motive.”

    Exploring a Factor for Domestic Violence Beliefs: A Demonstration of Measurement Ambiguity
    Springer Publishing Company ; 2018
    In:  Partner Abuse Vol. 9, No. 3 ( 2018-06), p. 291-310

    In: Partner Abuse, Springer Publishing Company, Vol. 9, No. 3 ( 2018-06), p. 291-310
    Abstract: Significant effort and money has been spent to change social and legal responses to domestic violence (DV) but, current statistics indicate relatively little decline in incidence rates and the literature contains conflicting findings, resulting in several controversies and heated political debates. Most of the rhetoric surrounding the controversial findings focus on theories and contextual issues related to survey instruments. However, this article seeks to raise another important issue that is common in criminological literature: poor measurement development and practices. Specifically, inconsistencies in scale development, psychometrics, and reporting practices for measurement lead to poor scale development and analytical confusion. We argue that poorly developed measures used repeatedly and slightly altered across varying studies contribute to the controversies in the literature. This article serves as an example of scale development to stimulate conversation regarding measurement issues amongst social scientists by focusing on one example regarding the measurement of DV beliefs. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses are used to explore the dimensionality of beliefs to develop the best measure for the data. Results highlight the need for more rigorous statistical estimation models and empirically supported psychometric techniques, and the need for further replication when developing composite measures of latent constructs.

    Does Training and Coursework in Domestic Violence Affect Students' Perceptions of Behaviors as Domestic Violence?
    Springer Publishing Company ; 2019

    In: Violence and Victims, Springer Publishing Company, Vol. 34, No. 1 ( 2019-02-01), p. 85-103
    Abstract: Some argue that training and/or coursework in domestic violence (DV) could impact the beliefs criminal justice (CJ) majors have about DV and, in turn, affect their future job performance in cases involving victims of DV. This study examined the association of previous education and training in DV on the beliefs college students hold about what behaviors qualify as DV. Further, it examined the association between CJ versus non-CJ majors on beliefs about DV behaviors. Results indicated prior education on DV, but not training outside of coursework, was associated with differences in students' beliefs about acts of sexual aggression qualifying as DV. Education and training on DV were not significantly related to differences in beliefs about acts of physical or verbal/emotional aggression being DV. Moreover, CJ majors are less likely to believe that verbal/emotional aggression was an act of DV, compared to non-CJ majors. Implications of these findings for policy and educational efforts impacting CJ majors are discussed.

    Abstract: Due to COVID-19, domestic violence victims face a range of mental health challenges, possibly resulting in substantial human and economic consequences. However, there is a lack of mental health interventions tailored to domestic violence victims and in the context of COVID-19. In this study, we aim to identify interventions that can improve domestic violence victims’ mental health amid the COVID-19 pandemic to address the research gap. Main text Drawing insights from established COVID-19 review frameworks and a comprehensive review of PubMed literature, we obtained information on interventions that can address domestic violence victims’ mental health challenges amid COVID-19. We identified practical and timely solutions that can be utilized to address mental health challenges domestic violence victims face amid COVID-19, mainly focusing on (1) decreasing victims’ exposure to the abuser and (2) increasing victims’ access to mental health services. Conclusion Domestic violence is a public health crisis that affects all demographics and could result in significant morbidity and mortality. In addition to emphasizing mental health challenges faced by domestic violence victims, multidisciplinary interventions are identified that could provide timely and practical solutions to domestic violence victims amid the pandemic, which range from tailored shelter home strategies, education programs, escape plans, laws and regulations, as well as more technology-based mental health solutions. There is a significant need for more multipronged and multidisciplinary strategies to address domestic violence amid and beyond the pandemic, particularly interventions that could capitalize on the ubiquity and cost-effectiveness of technology-based solutions.

    Evidence-Based Best Practices for Batterer Intervention Programs: A Report From the Field on the Realities and Challenges Batterer Intervention Programs Are Facing
    Springer Publishing Company ; 2017

    Abstract: Throughout the United States, individuals are being court-ordered to attend batterer intervention programs (BIPs). BIPs were developed as an option to punish offenders for intimate partner violence (IPV) at the misdemeanor level. The purpose of BIPs is to hold batterers accountable and reduce the likelihood of recurring battery. However, determining the effectiveness of such programs has proven difficult because of the differences across programs and the uniqueness of individual batterers. In any case, there are best practices identified in the literature for particular components of BIPs such as practitioner education and training, proper intake and assessment, and offender oversight. In this article, we review the literature on the history of BIPs as well as the best practices identified earlier. Furthermore, the article describes an exploratory study that surveyed 7 local BIP practitioners. The questionnaire assessed practitioners’ practices and their compliance with current state standards as well as evidence-based practices recommended in the literature. The responses provided insight into the difficulties that practitioners face in meeting current state standards as well as practices outlined in empirical research. We conclude with a discussion on the issue of treating all batterers the same as well as areas for future study in the field of batterer intervention.
