Abstract: |
This report constitutes the final evaluation of the Domestic Violence Pilot Sites at Caerphilly, Gwent, and Croydon, London, England. These sites, whilst both part of the 2-year Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) Domestic Violence project, have piloted different ways to improve the response to domestic violence. This report expands on the initial findings of an interim report published in September 2004 by providing additional data from interviews with key staff and victims and from analysing cases going through the courts during the first operational year. Comparisons are made before and after the projects were implemented by analysing data relevant to key targets such as narrowing the justice gap, bringing perpetrators to justice, and increasing public confidence in the criminal justice system. The findings show positive and significant changes to working practices and outcomes from both pilots at Caerphilly and Croydon. Key improvements are: increasing the number of domestic violence incidents reported to police that result in a case at court; reducing the number of cases lost before trial; increasing the number of perpetrators brought to justice; providing advocacy to victims of domestic violence; and delivering these changes to policy and practice in a cost-effective way. |
