Community Policing and Police Agency Accreditation in the United States, 1992 and 1994

This study was undertaken to examine the compatibility of
 law enforcement agency accreditation and community policing. It sought
 to answer the following questions: (1) Are accreditation and community
 policing compatible? (2) Do accreditation and community policing
 conflict? (3) Does accreditation support community policing? (4) Did
 any of this change with the 1994 "top-down" revision of the
 Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA)
 standards? To that end, the researchers conducted separate content
 analyses of the 897 accreditation standards of the Commission on
 Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) in effect at the
 end of 1992 and the revised set of 436 standards published in
 1994. The standards were coded on 27 variables derived from the
 literature on community policing and police
 administration. Information was collected on the basics of each
 accreditation standard, its references to issues of community-oriented
 policing (COP) and problem-oriented policing (POP), and general
 information on its compatibility, or conflict with COP and POP. Basic
 variables cover standard, chapter, section, and
 applicability. Variables focusing on the compatibility of
 community-oriented policing and the accreditation standards include
 sources of legitimacy/authorization, community input, community
 reciprocity, geographic responsibility, and broadening of
 functions. Variables on problem-oriented policing include level of
 analysis, empirical analysis, collaboration with nonpolice agencies,
 evaluation/assessment, and nature of the problem. Variables on
 management and administration concern officer discretion,
 specialization by unit, specialization by task, formalization,
 centralization, levels/hierarchy, employee notification, employee
 involvement, employee rights, specific accountability, and customer
 orientation. General information on the compatibility or conflict
 between a standard and community-oriented policing/problem-oriented
 policing includes overall restrictiveness of the standard, primary
strategic affiliation, focus on process, and focus on administration.
Benefits and Limitations of Civil Protection Orders for Victims of Domestic Violence in Wilmington, Delaware, Denver, Colorado, and the District of Columbia, 1994-1995

This study was designed to explore whether civil protection
 orders were effective in providing safer environments for victims of
 domestic violence and enhancing their opportunities for escaping
 violent relationships. The researchers looked at the factors that
 might influence civil protection orders, such as accessibility to the
 court process, linkages to public and private services and sources of
 support, and the criminal record of the victim's abuser, and then
 examined how courts in three jurisdictions processed civil protection
 orders. Wilmington, Delaware, Denver, Colorado, and the District of
 Columbia were chosen as sites because of structural differences among
 them that were believed to be linked to the effectiveness of civil
 protection orders. Since these jurisdictions each had different court
 processes and service models, the researchers expected that these
 models would produce various results and that these variations might
 hold implications for improving practices in other jurisdictions. Data
 were collected through initial and follow-up interviews with women who
 had filed civil protection orders. The effectiveness of the civil
 protection orders was measured by the amount of improvement in the
 quality of the women's lives after the order was in place, versus the
 extent of problems created by the protection orders. Variables from
 the survey of women include police involvement at the incident leading
 to the protection order, the relationship of the petitioner and
 respondent to the petition prior to the order, history of abuse, the
 provisions asked for and granted in the order, if a permanent order
 was not filed for by the petitioner, the reasons why, the court
 experience, protective measures the petitioner undertook after the
 order, and how the petitioner's life changed after the order. Case
 file data were gathered on when the order was filed and issued,
 contempt motions and hearings, stipulations of the order, and social
 service referrals. Data on the arrest and conviction history of the
petition respondent were also collected.

The research questions addressed in this summary overview were as follows:
 How frequent were different forms of injury evidence and biological evidence in the sample? Is the presence of injury evidence and biological evidence correlated with the presence of other forms of evidence?Which types of cases and case circumstances are more likely to yield injury evidence and biological evidence? Do the presence of injury evidence and biological evidence predict criminal justice outcomes, taking into account the effects of other predictors? In what ways do prosecutors use injury evidence and biological evidence and what is their appraisal of their impact on case outcomes?  The collection contains 1 SPSS data file, DataArchiveFile_InjuryEvidenceForensicEvidenceandthe ProsecutionofSexualAssault4-7-17.sav (n=257; 417 variables).The qualitative data files were excluded from deposit with ICPSR and are not available as part of this data collection at this time.

Criminal protection orders are a critical tool to enhance the safety and protection of victims of domestic violence (DV). However, limited research exists to elucidate the process and outcomes of these orders. The purposes of the study were to (a) elucidate the process of criminal orders as a critical strategy to reduce domestic violence, (b) increase knowledge about how criminal orders influence the daily lives of women, and children, and how they are associated with offender behavior, (c) disseminate findings to practitioners, policy makers, and academics to inform practice, policy, and future research; and (d) document in detail the relevant accounts of the collaboration to inform best practices for collaborations that lead to better policy, practice, and research. The sample is comprised of 298 female victims of DV by a male, intimate partner. Participants were recruited from two geographical area courthouses in an urban and a suburban New England community. 
Information was collected in personal interviews and augmented with information from court records. Separate data files contain information about housing events as well as substance use. Qualitative data collected as part of this study are not included in this fast track release.

This study was a secondary analysis of Custody Evaluators' Beliefs about Domestic Abuse Allegations, 2009-2010 [United States] (ICPSR 30962 - https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR30962.v1). The purpose of this study was to conduct further analysis of a recent, National Institute of Justice (NIJ) sponsored national survey of professionals to better understand the relationship between family law statutes and professionals' recommendations for child custody and visitation in cases of intimate partner violence. The samples involve 512 child custody evaluators and 200 judges from 46 states. Evaluators and judges responded to a case vignette of serious intimate partner violence (IPV). They indicated recommendations they would make for custody and visitation and the perceived risk of future harm. Evaluators also reported on their history of actual recommendations in IPV cases. The original study investigated beliefs about custody, value-laden beliefs, knowledge professionals had acquired on IPV, the number of survivors they had known, and their work setting, education, and other demographics. In the current study, statutory provisions with sufficient sample sizes of professionals with and without the provisions were used in the analysis.

The study investigated the feasibility of implementing the Cardiff Model. The Cardiff Model is a unique violence surveillance system and intervention that involves data sharing and violence prevention planning between law enforcement and the medical field. Anonymized data on assaults from emergency and police departments (EDs; PDs) are combined to detail assault incidents and "hotspots." Data are discussed by a multidisciplinary consortium, which develops and implements a data-informed violence prevention action plan that includes behavioral, environmental, and policy changes to impact violence. Model actions led to decreases in injurious assaults and this model is now statutory in the United Kingdom.
The Cardiff Model has never been translated to the U.S. and would require an investigation within our health care system and in different geographical and population contexts. This study investigated the feasibility of essential Cardiff Model Components in order to refine study procedures and situate this community to request further funds for full model implementation.
As part of this study, researchers collected a number of feasibility measures from ED and study staff to evaluate the feasibility of translating included model components. Geospatial and statistical analyses investigated the added benefit of the combined ED, PD and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) data.
The study contains 1 SPSS data files (CHW Data_1.1.15 to 7.31.16.sav (n=748; 14 variables)), 1 STATA data file (nurse survey data.dta (n=43; 26 variables)), a text document (Nurse Survey_Qualitative data.txt), and 1 excel file (CHW Incidents_Block level data only.xlsx).
