| Abstract: | With recognition that police intervention by itself is not entirely effective, in recent years there has been a shift in public
policies towards the implementation of a coordinated community response to domestic violence incidents. This article examines
the impact of participation in several aspects of a coordinated community response (CCR) in a mid-sized city in the Midwest.
Specifically, recidivism was examined using information on officially recorded re-arrests for 131 male domestic violence offenders
involved in a CCR type intervention. In addition, exploratory analyses attempt to determine if certain offender characteristics
are related to their likely of progressing through each of several post-conviction components of this CCR-type intervention.
Limitations of the research and suggestions for policy responses to domestic violence are discussed.
