- Abstract
This paper provides an overview of the findings as it relates to law enforcement responses to domestic violence situations. This study combined both the quantitative and qualitative methods, which provided data suggesting significant prosecution rates consistent with reducing the reoffending of domestic violence offenders. This study contained the results from the 44 interviews and the additional questions. These interviews were coded, recoded, and themes were developed. Further, a quantitative analysis was completed of the 5-Level Likert Scale questionnaire, as related to the four hypotheses used in this study, and a t-test was completed. The premise is that specific guidelines and policies regarding the handling of domestic violence cases will not only help officers reduce the incidence of domestic violence but also allow for maximum protection for victims of domestic violence by utilizing law enforcement services and victim advocates (Tatum & Clement, 2007).
