Summary

"One component of this research agenda is to examine the many second responder programs that send social workers to homes following a police report of domestic violence. These programs have become popular because police agencies no longer assume they can cope with domestic abuse by themselves. At the same time, opinion is divided on the issue of second responders and sometimes even suggests that they may lead to further violence (Davis et al. 2004; Davis and Maxwell 2002).The current lack of consensus among researchers indicates the need for another look at whether second responder programs are actually reducing domestic violence."--Introduction.
