The Risk Assessment and Management of Intimate Partner Violence in an Australian Policing Context

Many victims of intimate partner violence (IPV) engage the criminal justice system for help and safety, and first responders such as police, face a significant challenge in providing the appropriate assessment and management of cases in a way that helps to reduce IPV and the associated harms. This thesis aimed to add to existing knowledge of the assessment and management of IPV by police using an evidence-based model. The results add to a growing understanding of how police might assess and manage risk in this area using an evidence-based model.
