- Description
- This article examines how economic, emotional and social-power related factors affect victims' behaviour in favor of prosecution during police investigations. Data drawn from police records and police narrative reports indicated that mutual charge, dual arrest, the severity of assaults and the severity of injuries suffered by victims negatively affected the victims' behavior in favor of prosecution. These findings suggest that the norm of unequal relationships between men and women combined with an indiscriminate use of mutual charge and dual arrest without considering the defensive or offensive nature of violent acts can reduce trust in the criminal justice system among women victims of domestic violence and decrease the victims' interest in pursuing prosecution.

- Description
- Factors were studied in terms of their impact on selfreported likelihood to arrest when responding to domestic violence call. Results indicate that belief in the utility of police involvement, knowledge of the department's policy, and attitudes towards women are all significant in accounting for the variation in the likelihood of police to arrest.

- Description
- In 1992, the Tamil Nadu State government in India began to introduce all-women police stations whose primary role is to deal with crimes against women, including family violence and dowry disputes. Dowry giving is a customary practice in India, which often results in disputes between young wives and their new families. As a result, the young women may be subjected to physical and mental ill treatment. Using detailed data from 474 case records and interviews with 60 dowry victims, this study examines how women police stations serve as a dispute processing system, and describes the services extended by the stations to the victims of dowry disputes.

- Slachtofferrapportage en politierapportage wat betreft arrestatie en veroordeling wegens mishandelen van vrouwen worden vergeleken om na te gaan of er verschillen zijn. Overeenstemming over het feit dat geen arrestatie of veroordeling had plaatsgevonden bleek relatief hoog, terwijl overeenstemming over het feit dat er een arrestatie of veroordeling had plaatsgevonden zeer laag was.

- Description
- Some scholars argue that a greater number of women police officers may improve the plight of battered women through increased arrest rates and referrals to battered shelters. The authors examine how women and men police officers perceive and respond to a hypothetical realistic domestic violence situation, and three manipulated features of the situation: wife's conduct (normal, hallucinating, drunken), presence of visible injuries on the wife: and antagonism between wife and husband. Women and men did not differ on arrest rates: however, women were more likely to recommend battered shelters and less likely to recommend marriage counseling. These gender differences occurred only for experienced women. Women also assigned more importance to the victim's willingness to settle the argument in their arrest decisions.

- Description
- Bij huiselijk geweld is er vaak sprake van de arrestatie van twee personen, de zogenaamde duo-arrestatie. Onderzocht worden de gevolgen van die duo-arrestatie op de arrestanten, met name de gevolgen bij vrouwen. Mishandelde vrouwen vertrouwen op bescherming door de politie. Het arresteren van vrouwen die zich tegen mishandeling verzetten kan hun isolatie versterken en maken dat zij niet langer geloven dat het justitiële systeem hen bescherming biedt.

- Description
- As the experiences of black battered women with the police remain an underresearched issue, the current study focuses on the police arrest decision for these victims compared to other victims. Two important research questions are answered: is the arrest rate for black battered women significantly lower compared to other domestic violence victims, and are there different factors influencing the police decision to arrest for these victims compared to others? Using data from a medium-sized Midwestern police department, a model of the arrest decision was analyzed using logistic regression to compare the police response to black battered women versus 'other' victims. Results indicated that four variables differed to a significant extent across models: victim age, suspect age, victim had a probable drug or alcohol problem, and children present at the scene.

- Description
- De politie wordt er soms van beticht zich inschikkelijk te gedragen tegenover een verdachte van wie blijkt dat hij een relatie heeft met het slachtoffer. Bij onderzoek bleek geen ondersteuning voor de inschikkelijkheids-hypothese. Bij incidenten waarbij de dader een intieme partner is van het slachtoffer gaat de politie vaker tot arrestatie over. Dat komt omdat intimi makkelijk geïdentificeerd kunnen worden. Wat de kans van intimi verkleint, is het feit dat er in gevallen van huiselijk geweld vaak geen getuigen aanwezig zijn.

- Description
- Aan de hand van politierapporten van 1535 vrouwelijke slachtoffers van geweld binnen relaties wordt gekeken wat een slachtoffer er toe brengt aangifte bij de politie te doen. Dit wordt onderzocht aan de hand van verschillende reacties van de politie en de waarschijnlijkheid dat arrestatie zal volgen. De politie blijkt eerder tot arrestatie over te gaan wanneer de slachtoffers gewond zijn, de dader geen voorgeschiedenis van geweld heeft en bij incidenten waarin zwarte daders zwarte slachtoffers maken. Ook wordt ingegaan op het `battered woman syndrome'.
