“…Preceding this landmark experiment, IPV/DV was considered to be a family issue handled informally without intervention from the criminal justice system (Fagan, 1996;Finn et al, 2004). In the wake of the Minneapolis experiment, numerous jurisdictions enacted mandatory arrest policies (Frye et al, 2007;Hirschel et al, 2007). These policies rely on discretionary decision making on behalf of the responding officer.…”

There is a substantial body of literature that examines police practices, behavioral responses, and victim cooperation when the police respond to intimate partner or domestic violence (IPV/DV) incidents. Less scholarly attention is given to the complex justice system response to IPV/DV incidents in which the police are one of many collaborative actors. A critical time in IPV/DV justice system processing is the period of time after arrest and before court disposition. Increasingly, the supervision of defendants in this pretrial period has been facilitated with the use of technology that creates new roles for the police. The present study seeks to explore perceived police roles and responses through an in-depth case study of a city-county municipality employing global positioning system (GPS) pretrial supervision of IPV/DV defendants. Using interview data from pretrial probation officers, victim advocates, and victims of IPV/DV, this research offers lessons learned and police practice recommendations for working as a unified systems front to curtail IPV/DV crimes and improve communication between multiple justice system stakeholders.

“…Another potential explanation is that police officers are now less accepting of violence in general in intimate relationships and thus more willing to arrest women (see DeLeon-Granados et al, 2006, for further discussion). However, many researchers and academics reject these explanations and argue that female victims are often wrongly arrested under preferred and mandatory arrest policies (Chesney-Lind, 2002;Frye, Haviland, & Rajah, 2007;Osthoff, 2002).…”

Victims’ Perceptions of Police Response to Intimate Partner Violence

Police officers have historically been criticized for ignoring the seriousness of intimate partner violence (IPV) and for dismissing victims' needs. Many jurisdictions in the United States have implemented policies encouraging or mandating the arrest of IPV offenders in an attempt to address these shortcomings. However, a more aggressive police response has not necessarily changed victims' perceptions of officers or improved victim-officer interactions. In this article, using both qualitative interview data and data from existing literature, I examine the victims' understandings of IPV, particularly in the context of mandatory and preferred arrest policies, and consider how these understandings likely shape victims' interactions with police officers. I also discuss implications for the future policing of IPV.

“…A study conducted by Frye et al (2007) shows that officers commonly still fail to make any arrest when responding to IPV calls. Some police officers continue to hold stereotypical view about IPV and victims of IPV.…”

“…Largely as a response to pressure from feminists and battered women's advocates, in the last several decades many jurisdictions have implemented mandatory arrest policies that require officers to arrest an offender if there is probable cause to believe that an act of violence has occurred (Leisenring 2008). These policies were primarily enacted in order to remove discretion from the responding officers so as to ensure the arrest of offenders and serve as a deterrent for future violence (Frye et al 2007). …”

“Whoa! They Could’ve Arrested Me!”: Unsuccessful Identity Claims of Women During Police Response to Intimate Partner Violence

Many jurisdictions in the U.S. have implemented mandatory arrest policies in an attempt to limit police officers' discretion in their arrest decisions when responding to intimate partner violence calls. Drawing from semi-structured interviews with female victims of intimate partner violence, I explore the ways in which mandatory arrest policies have influenced the identity work of women during their interactions with police officers. I focus specifically on women's "unsuccessful" identity claims: situations where women are unable to convince police officers that they are victims and situations where women are unable to convince officers that they are not victims. I examine the strategies that women use during their identity work and explore the consequences of women's failed self presentations under mandatory arrest policies, the most significant of which is a woman's arrest. I argue that under mandatory arrest policies, for many women, the risk of failed identity work is even more consequential than before these policies were established.
