Evaluation of Special Session Domestic Violence Court Processing in Connecticut, 1999-2000
Description
This study documented women's experience of enhanced
services and advocacy in the context of the three special session
domestic violence courts in Connecticut. The study conducted 60
in-depth interviews with women whose current or former partners were
arrested for domestic violence and who appeared in one of the three
special session courts. The questions were designed to elicit
information from women about the meaning and context of intimate
violence in their lives generally, their assessments of the risks and
options available to them and their children from family, friends, and
other institutions, their strategies for maximizing safety for
themselves and their children, the meaning of the arrest incident in
their overall experience of their relationship with their abusive
partner, and the impact of the court experience on their plans, sense
of options, and understanding of the abuse they had experienced.
