摘要

We wanted to learn if prosecution without the victims cooperation was feasible with appropriate increases in resources. We therefore identified three sites where Office of Justice Programs (OJP) had awarded funds for no-drop prosecution under the VAWO grant program to encourage arrest policies. From the handful of grantees who had been awarded funds to implement no-drop, we chose Omaha NE, Everett, WA and Klamath Falls OR -- the three grant proposals that seemed the most unequivocal in implementing a strong no-drop policy. To these three we added San Diego. Even though San Diego had not applied for funds under the arrest policies grant program, we believed it was important to include it. San Diego is not only the first place to try no-drop, but it is widely respected as being the most successful no-drop site. San Diego officials are in demand nationally to conduct trainings on no-drop. We reasoned that we could not conduct a study of no-drop without including the longest and strongest program. We designed our study to examine effects of no-drop policies on court outcomes and victim satisfaction with the justice system and feelings of safety. We wanted to learn whether implementing a no-drop policy resulted in increased convictions and fewer dismissals. We also wondered whether the rate of trials might increase in jurisdictions where nodrop was adopted as a result of the prosecutors demand for a plea in cases in which victims were uncooperative or unavailable. Finally, we questioned whether prosecutors might have to downgrade sentence demands in order to win the willingness of defense attorneys to negotiate pleas in the new context of a no-drop policy. Looking at court outcomes would tell us what the effects of no-drop policies were on case processing. But just because conviction rates increased would not necessarily mean that the policy was a good one, No-drop policies are often described as intended to send a message to abusers (that prosecution is out of the victims hands so there is no point in making threats against her), to the victim (that prosecution is the best thing regardless of what she might think), and to the community (that domestic violence will not be tolerated). In our study, we focused on how no-drop policies affected victims. Did victims who did not want their spouses or boyfriends prosecuted eventually come around to the prosecutors way of thinking. Or did prosecution without victims consent anger victims and discourage them from calling the police in the future.
