Facts About Domestic Violence Between 91-95% of all documented reports of adult domestic violence are women abused by their male partners. About 1-2% is the physical abuse of men by their female partners. Intimate violence, however, is not limited to heterosexual relationships. The rate of violence in gay and lesbian relationships is estimated to be about the same as in heterosexual couples (around 20-30%), accounting for about 3-8% of the total number of documented reports. While there may be under-reporting of domestic violence by gay and lesbian victims and by men abused by their female partners, it is also estimated that fewer than one in ten cases of women abused by male partners is reported.

U.S. Department of Agriculture Safety, Health and Employee Welfare Division Domestic Violence Awareness Handbook Stop the Cycle of Violence! All of you know how much needs to be done to take meaningful steps to end domestic violence and sexual assault. We need tough law enforcement, aggressive prosecutions, effective prevention programs and available shelters for families in distress. Most importantly, we need to insure that more people know and understand that domestic violence is not a private matter. It is a critical national problem that affects us all in every community, in every work place and in every school. Each of us can do more and this handbook shows us how. President Clinton recognized the seriousness of the problem when he signed the Violence Against Women Act as part of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994. In the past year, the Department of Justice has sought to combine tough federal penalties along with substantial resources to the states to begin dealing with the problem of domestic violence in a comprehensive, multi-faceted way. States and local law enforcement agencies have been encouraged to begin programs that will enhance their ability to prevent domestic violence, to punish it and to stop the cycle of violence. The Act also established a: National Domestic Violence Hotline, 1-800-799-SAFE.

Services in Support of Law Enforcement Agency: State Police Domestic Violence Domestic violence impacts Michigan families and communities at all levels. People across the entire spectrum, from infancy to the elderly, are the victims of this crime. It is not limited to any race, age, sexual orientation, socioeconomic class, educational level, or occupation. According to the Michigan State Police Criminal Justice Information Center, 41,822 people were reported as victims of domestic violence in 1999. We can be encouraged that this is down from 47,499 in 1998, but the numbers are still staggering. In 1999, 31 people were killed as a result of domestic violence. WHAT IS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: Michigan law requires that you have a "special" relationship with another individual to be considered "domestic" in nature. A special relationship between assailant and victim is defined as spouse, former spouse, resident, former resident, or they have a child in common. The "Power and Control Wheel" shows how batterers use different tactics to manipulate their environment and control their partners.

Domestic Violence Role of the DVLOs Lancashire Constabulary's DVLOs provide a second tier of intervention and support in domestic violence cases. Whilst the DVLOs are specialist officers their role still involves the same focus of protection, prevention and enforcement. In protection and prevention terms the DVLOs will assess each incident to determine where intervention is required. Repeat victimisation provides a key part in this process, particularly where the abuse or frequency of the incidents is escalating. It is not possible for the DVLOs to have personal involvement in every domestic violence case, and indeed not all victims would wish for that to happen. Therefore a system of letters, information packs, telephone calls and personal visits is applied, dependent on the needs of the victim. A further element of protection and prevention is the allocation of personal attack alarms, Tunstall alarms, surveillance cameras and mobile telephones, where required. In terms of enforcement the DVLOs are encouraged to employ a problem solving approach to domestic violence cases to seek long-term solutions. They are also closely involved into the evidence gathering process and link in with the Crown Prosecution Service lawyers to monitor cases and supply previous history. Part of their role, which should not be understated, is the support they offer to victims of domestic violence through the criminal justice process. They are particularly alert to the vulnerability of certain domestic violence victims and provide the required support and guidance. A key part of the DVLOs role is to work closely with the other support agencies offering services to domestic violence victims.

Domestic Violence The Role of the Police The primary responsibility of the police at domestic violence incidents is the protection of the victim and any children. The constabulary's Domestic Violence Policy promotes positive action, which is defined as: Protection, Prevention and Enforcement. The constabulary's undertaking is to treat domestic violence incidents as crimes and thereby collect evidence from all available sources. Officers are instructed to separate the parties to obtain a full account of the incident and any previous history. The importance of obtaining quality information is stressed and accurate record keeping becomes an essential part of the process to ensure that previous domestic violence incidents can be taken into account and potentially used in subsequent court proceedings. Officers are instructed on the need to deal as sensitively as possible in these highly complex situations and also to be alert to the needs of individual victims, particularly within our minority ethnic communities.

The number of abusers placed in supervised protection has risen from 35 in 1986 to 200 in 1992; more probationers are surrendered for violations; and three times as many male batterers are completing the yearlong intensive treatment program in Quincy than in other jurisdictions. Best of all, Quincy had no domestic homicides in 1991. Since the program began in 1987, the number of women seeking orders from the Quincy Court has doubled. Annual Budget: N/A.

Murray Hails Grants to Help Domestic Violence Prevention For Immediate Release: February 26, 1999 Contact: Rex Carney 202/224-0229 (Washington, DC) More federal funding is now available to states and communities to help them deal with domestic violence through increased law enforcement, more shelters and victims services, U.S. Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) said today. Murray hailed an announcement by the Clinton Administration today that more funding will be made available through federal grant programs to address the issue of domestic violence. Murray has been a strong advocate of efforts to fight domestic violence and to increase awareness of the economic problems faced by battered women. "We have worked hard to bring this issue out of the shadows, and now we need to provide the resources to law enforcement, battered women shelters and service providers to put an end to domestic violence in America," Murray said. "Through the Violence Against Women Act and other legislative efforts, we have raised awareness and increased funding, and today's announcement by the Administration gives states access to the tools they need to fight domestic violence in our communities." Specifically, the Administration announced the following grants through the Justice Department and the Department of Health and Human Services that will be available to states on a formula basis:
