Preferred term

domestic violence and arrest policy  

Definition

  • As all states and the federal government have addressed domestic violence crimes through their criminal statutes, they have also consistently determined that arrest is the preferred law enforcement response in domestic violence cases. The process of the arrest has been widely studied by criminal justice researchers, especially the use of arrest in domestic violence cases.
