Capital Punishment: Books from the Lloyd Sealy Library Collections

Police Response to Spouse Abuse: An Annotated Bibliography
http://www.lib.jjay.cuny.edu/research/spouse.html
There have been major changes in the police response to spouse abuse since the 1976 International Association of Chiefs of Police directive stated that “wife abuse should not be considered a victimless crime” (Browne 1987, 168). In fact, many police departments have adopted pro-arrest or mandatory arrest policies for dealing with such incidents. In 1984, a report published by the United States Attorney General’s Task Force on Family Violence recommended that arrest be the preferred policy in dealing with domestic violence incidents. The results of a study published that same year, since referred to as “The Minneapolis Experiment,” concluded that arrest proved far more effective in curtailing repeat offenses of spouse abuse than did either advice or separation (Sherman and Berk 1984). While the authors of this landmark experiment recommended that presumptive arrest and not mandatory arrest policies be instituted based on their findings, the experiment has since been cited by many proponents of mandatory arrest policies. According to the results of subsequent studies, the Minneapolis Experiment has influenced police department arrest policies throughout the country (Binder & Meeker 1988; Cohn & Sherman 1986). This annotated bibliography by Nancy Egan, John Jay College of Criminal Justice identifies a great deal of the literature which refers to police response policies and examines the authors’ recommendations.
