This is a report to the California Attorney general From the Task Force on Local Criminal Justice Response to Domestic Violence. A Task Force was appointed to examine how local criminal justice systems respond to domestic violence across California. The 26-member task force had representatives from criminal justice agencies, victims, the judiciary, health care, and the Legislature, and focused on four areas: obtaining and enforcing restraining orders, prosecuting misdemeanor domestic violence cases, holding batterers accountable, and law enforcement’s response to health practitioner reports of domestic violence. Looks at 300 interviews with practitioners, hundreds of documents, and testimony from 69 witnesses at six public hearings throughout the state. The report, Keeping the Promise: Protecting Victims of Domestic Violence and Holding Batterers Accountable, identifies numerous problematic practices, and offers clear, straightforward recommendations for what must be implemented to strengthen the criminal justice response to domestic violence.
