Revictimization and Victim Satisfaction in Domestic Violence Cases Processed in the Quincy, Massachusetts, District Court, 1995-1997
This study sought to examine (1) the occurrence of
revictimization, (2) the impact of case processing in Quincy District
Court (QDC) on the disclosure of revictimization, and (3) victim
satisfaction with various components of the criminal justice
system. This study was undertaken as part of a secondary analysis of
data originally collected for a National Institute of Justice (NIJ)
sponsored evaluation of a "model" domestic violence program located in
Quincy, Massachusetts (RESPONSE TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN THE QUINCY,
MASSACHUSETTS, DISTRICT COURT, 1995-1997 [ICPSR 3076]). Administrative
records data were collected from the Quincy District Court's
Department of Probation, two batterer treatment programs servicing
offenders, and police incident reports, as well as survey data
administered to victims. Included are criminal history data, records
of civil restraining orders, probation department data on
prosecutorial charges, case disposition and risk assessment
information, data on offender treatment program participation, police
incident reports, and self-report victim survey data. These data were
collected with three primary goals: (1) to obtain the victim's point
of view about what she wanted from the criminal justice system, and
how the criminal justice system responded to the domestic violence
incident in which she was involved, (2) to get details about the study
incidents and the context of the victim-offender relationship that are
not typically available in official statistics, and (3) to hear
directly from victims about the defendant's reoffending behavior.
