Data on the effectiveness of the training were collected by\r\nmeans of an attitude survey of law enforcement officers (Part\r\n1). Additionally, two experimental designs (Part 2) were implemented\r\nto test the effects of the Duluth model training on (1) time spent by\r\npolice officers at the scene of a domestic violence incident, and (2)\r\nthe number of convictions. Variables for Part 1 include the assigned\r\nresearch group and respondents' level of agreement with various\r\nstatements, such as: alcohol is the primary cause of family violence,\r\nmen are more likely than women to be aggressive, only mentally ill\r\npeople batter their families, mandatory arrest of offenders is the\r\nbest way to reduce repeat episodes of violence, family violence is a\r\nprivate matter, law enforcement policies are ineffective for\r\npreventing family violence, children of single-parent, female-headed\r\nfamilies are abused more than children of dual-parent households, and\r\nprosecution of an offender is unlikely regardless of how well a victim\r\ncooperates. Index scores calculated from groupings of various\r\nvariables are included as well as whether the respondent found\r\ntraining interesting, relevant, well-organized, and\r\nuseful. Demographic variables for each respondent include race,\r\ngender, age, and assignment and position in the police department.\r\nVariables for Part 2 include whether the domestic violence case\r\noccurred before or after training, to which test group the case\r\nbelongs, the amount of time in minutes spent on the domestic violence\r\nscene, and whether the case resulted in a conviction.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR03400.v1", "title": "Evaluation of Law Enforcement Training for Domestic Violence Cases in a Southwestern City in Texas, 1997-1999"}], "identifier": "3248", "issued": "2002-06-27T00:00:00", "keyword": ["arrest procedures", "domestic violence", "family violence", "intervention", "law enforcement", "outcome evaluation", "police officers", "police training", "policies and procedures", "program evaluation"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2006-03-30T00:00:00", "programCode": ["011:060"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Institute of Justice", "subOrganizationOf": {"acronym": "OJP", "id": 22, "name": "Office of Justice Programs", "parentOrganization": {"acronym": "DOJ", "id": 10, "name": "Department of Justice"}, "parentOrganizationID": 10}}, "title": "Evaluation of Law Enforcement Training for Domestic Violence Cases in a Southwestern City in Texas, 1997-1999"}
