Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Decades after Sherman and Berk’s groundbreaking 1984 experiment on domestic violence arrests, it is important to assess the success or failure of the criminalization of domestic violence. This paper analyzes domestic violence arrest policies and compares them to NIBRS arrest rates. Overall, 42% of domestic violence cases result in arrest. Individual states vary in their arrest rates, ranging from a low of 25% to a high of 52%. Multivariate analyses indicate that jurisdictions with mandatory and preferred arrest policies have similar arrest rates to jurisdictions without such policies. Moreover, females are significantly more likely to be arrested than males in jurisdictions with and without mandatory/preferred policies. Explanations for the unintended consequences of arrest policies are explored, and the wisdom of the criminalization of domestic violence is discussed. Suggestions are made for law reform in domestic violence cases.
