Résumé
“This paper is about a training program for police officers on intervening in cases of intimate partner violence. It is based on the findings from focus groups held with police officers one year after the initial training. The paper highlights the training components and those aspects officers found especially relevant, makes suggestions about dealing with training issues as they relate to the criminal justice system and intimate partner violence, and draws attention to the missing pieces and the work still to be done toward effective police intervention, as identified by the officers themselves. The paper supports the opinion that specialized police training is a critical component of effective justice response.”—Page 4.
