| Monitor: | Bernie Auchter |
| This study seeks to assess the extent to which the prosecution, conviction, and enhanced sentences of offenders reduce repeat intimate partner violence. Another focus is to determine whether the effectiveness of criminal justice interventions is conditioned upon an offender's stakes in conformity (e.g., employment, marriage). This research will improve our understanding of the results of prior research, provide a more solid basis for current public policy, and help identify issues that ought to be addressed in future research on the criminal justice response to intimate partner violence. | |
