Program As the victim of a police officer, your situation is very different than that of other victims of domestic violence. You may be afraid to: Call the police - He is the police. Go to a shelter - He knows where the shelters are located. Have him arrested - Responding officers may invoke the code of silence. Take him to court - It's your word against that of an officer, and he knows the system. Seek a conviction - He will probably lose his job and retaliate against you. Drop the charges - You could lose future credibility and protection. All of these approaches could increase your level of danger. If you have ever tried to get help, you may have become discouraged because no one seemed to understand your plight. Women who come to Life Span have helped us develop expertise on this issue.

4. First Response To Victims Of Crime 2001 The three primary responsibilities of law enforcement in domestic violence cases are to (1) provide physical safety and security for victims, (2) assist victims by coordinating their referral to support services, and (3) make arrests of domestic violence perpetrators as required by law. http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ovc/publications/infores/firstrep/2001/vicofdomvio.html

V. Victims of Domestic Violence Background Domestic violence is a crime, not a family matter, and should be approached as such by law enforcement. U.S. Department of Justice statistics indicate that approximately 20 percent of homicides are committed within families or within intimate relationships, and one out of three female homicide victims is killed by an intimate. Furthermore, approximately 28 percent of violent crimes against females are committed by husbands or boyfriends. Finally, approximately 50 percent of domestic violence occurs between married partners and 25 percent between nonmarried partners living together, both involving mainly male assailants and female victims. The three primary responsibilities of law enforcement in domestic violence cases are to (1) provide physical safety and security for victims, (2) assist victims by coordinating their referral to support services, and (3) make arrests of domestic violence perpetrators as required by law. Tips for Responding to Victims of Domestic Violence Because domestic violence cases present potential dangers, responding officers should arrive in pairs at the scene if possible. Introduce yourself and explain that you were called because of a possible injury. Ask permission to enter the residence to make sure everything is okay.

The Federal Domestic Violence Laws and the Enforcement of These Laws Margaret S. Groban Publication Date: Not Available Table of Contents Overview The Violence Against Women Act Penalties Firearm Offenses ... Notes Overview Historically, the federal government has generally lacked jurisdiction over many domestic violence crimes. These crimes, however, pose a serious problem in our communities. Accordingly, while domestic violence remains primarily a matter of state and local jurisdiction, both VAWA and the Gun Control Act provide federal tools to prosecute domestic violence offenders in certain situations involving firearms or interstate travel or activity. This chapter provides a concise summary of the federal offenses/statutes now available in both VAWA and the Gun Control Act to prosecute domestic violence offenders in the federal courts. It also provides a summary of selected prosecutions under each statute and a checklist of offenses. These statutes strive to achieve the Congressional goal to "treat violence against women as a major law enforcement priority, take aim at the attitudes that nurture violence against women, and provide the help that survivors need" (S.Rep. No. 102-197, at 34-35, 1991). Through enforcement of these available laws, the Department of Justice can and will assist state and local jurisdictions in their efforts to combat domestic violence.

The Final Inspection The policeman stood to face his God, which must alway come to pass. He hoped his boots were shining, just as brightly as his brass. "Step forward now, Policeman. How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheeck? To my church have you been true?" The policeman squared his shoulder's and said. "No lord, I guess I ain't, Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint." I've had to work most Sundays, and at times my talk was rough, and sometimes I've been violent, because the streets are awfully tough. "But I never took a penny that wasn't mine to keep... Though I worked a lot of overtime when the bills got to steep.." And I never passed a cry for help,Though at times I shooked with fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept unmanly tears. I know I don't deserve a place among the people here. They never wanted me around except to calm their fear." "If you've got a place for me here Lord, It needn't be so grand. I never expected or had too much, but if you don't...I'll understand."

About the Office What's New State-by-State OVW Grant Activities Press Releases and Remarks ... Back to DOJ Home Rural Domestic Violence and Child Victimization Enforcement Grant Program Brief INTRODUCTION Recognizing that victims of domestic violence and children living in rural America are faced with unique barriers to receiving assistance, Congress created the Rural Domestic Violence and Child Victimization Enforcement Grant Program (Rural Program). The Rural Program implements certain provisions of the Violence Against Women Act, passed by Congress in 1994 and reauthorized in the Violence Against Women Act of 2000. The Rural Program is administered by the U.S. Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women, a component of the Office of Justice Programs (OJP). Rural victims of domestic violence and child abuse face additional challenges rarely encountered in urban areas. The geographic isolation, economic structure, social and cultural pressures, and lack of available services in rural communities significantly compound the problems faced by victims seeking to end the violence in their lives. The unique circumstances of rural communities affect the ability of the criminal justice system to investigate and prosecute domestic violence, dating violence, and child victimization cases. In addition, sociocultural, economic and geographic barriers hinder victim advocates from identifying and assisting victims of domestic violence, dating violence, and child abuse. The Rural Program enhances the safety of victims of domestic violence, dating violence, and child abuse by supporting projects uniquely designed to address and prevent these crimes in rural America.

About the Office What's New State-by-State OVW Grant Activities Press Releases and Remarks ... Back to DOJ Home Grants to Encourage Arrest Policies and Enforcement of Protection Orders Program Program brief INTRODUCTION The Grants to Encourage Arrest Policies and Enforcement of Protection Orders Program (Arrest Program) encourages jurisdictions to treat domestic violence as a serious violation of criminal law. The Arrest Program also promotes mandatory or pro-arrest policies as an effective domestic violence intervention that is part of a coordinated community response. Arrest should be one element in a comprehensive criminal justice system response to hold offenders accountable and enhance victim safety. Arrest, accompanied by a thorough investigation and meaningful sanctions, demonstrates to offenders that they have committed a serious crime and communicates to victims of domestic violence that they do not have to endure an offender's abuse. Arrest should be followed by immediate arraignment and a thorough investigation. Orders of protection should be enforced, and cases should be vigorously prosecuted. Designated dockets can enhance the management of domestic violence cases and expedite the scheduling of trials. Frequent judicial oversight and the use of graduated sanctions can help courts monitor the behavior of domestic violence offenders. Probation and parole agencies should closely monitor offenders and strictly enforce the terms and conditions of probation or parole. At each juncture in the criminal justice process, actions should be guided by concerns for victim safety. Mechanisms should be put in place to allow the voices and experiences of victims of domestic violence, particularly those who have sought assistance from the criminal justice system, to inform the development of policies. These mechanisms should ensure that the diverse experiences of victims are consideredparticularly the experiences of women of color, immigrant victims, the elderly, victims with disabilities, and victims from other traditionally underserved segments of the community.
