Sally Benatar’s story is introduced at the very beginning of this book to highlight that domestic abuse can be experienced by anyone. More impor-tantly, it shows how the police respond when a victim makes the first step of acknowledging domestic abuse and then asking for help can make a positive difference to their lives. But where the service they receive is less than pro-fessional it can destroy any subsequent trust and confidence in the police service and may result in victims not reaching out for help again.
Many officers joining the police service have expectations of spending days chasing after ‘bad guys’ in high-speed pursuits with blue lights flashing and sirens wailing (Herrington and Sebire, 2021). However, this is not the reality. A considerable amount of day-to-day front-line policing involves responding to domestic incidents within families, and relationships often involving the worst people can do to those they claim to love and care for. What have historically been perceived as private, or family matters are now a priority for policing given the devastating effect domestic abuse has on individuals and society (Walby, 2004).
Policing domestic abuse is not easy. Dealing with people who have been controlled and coerced throughout their relationships, traumatised, beaten, and injured and the children and others who witnessed such abuse is a sig-nificant responsibility. The actions taken by police can be life changing through supporting victims to leave violent and abusive relationships and bringing perpetrators to justice through diligent evidence capture and pros-ecution. However, where the policing response has not been timely or risk assessments are inappropriate, lives have been lost.
This book has been written to assist those working within policing and those researching domestic abuse in understanding the theory and prac-tical application of this most challenging area of policing. It does not re-place any force policies or the College of Policing’s approved professional practice. Whilst primarily aimed at policing and legislation in England and Wales, the principles outlined are widely applicable in policing domestic abuse internationally. It provides guidance in how to support victims, com-plete risk assessments and manage perpetrators with examples, signposting additional resources and suggesting critical thinking points in order to as-sist those who police domestic abuse and improve their practice. This book identifies key developments in terms of new legislation such as the Domestic Abuse Bill 2020, which works in abuse prevention and of course the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Whilst the police have a significant role to play, it is essential that this is done in partnership. This book explains the statutory role of agencies in providing support to families suffering from abuse. Only a whole system response where agencies and the community work together can bring about sustained change to address this ‘wicked problem’.
Dealing with traumatic incidents can lead to stress and anxiety. Manag-ing self-resilience and well-being of yourself and colleagues is essential. We examine the impact of trauma and share current best practice and available resources to assist in managing well-being.
There will be perpetrators of domestic abuse who are also police officers and staff. Such behaviour impacts on police legitimacy and public confi-dence, and we consider the misconduct process and the code of ethics when the standards police are held to are broken.
Being a police officer or staff member is a privilege but comes with re-sponsibility. Protecting the vulnerable and abused is our highest priority. We hope this book will assist you in the execution of that duty.
