11.1 Coordinated Community Response Model to Domestic Violence
European Manual on Risk Assessment Albuquerque, M et al (2013) Based on human rights principles, this manual provides in detail all the information and tools a professional needs to better understand, identify and manage the risks posed by domestic violence/intimate partner violence. Tasking a holistic approach, it recognises that risks are not just generated by the abuser’s fists but that domestic violence/intimate partner violence can also have a devastating impact on women’s self-esteem and capacity to engage as a full citizen, affecting their lives long after they have reached a place of safety and bruises have healed. Consequently guidance is also provided to promote the recovery of survivors; to restore their empowerment and autonomy.

Coordinated Community Response to Family Violence: The Role of Domestic Violence Service Organizations Malik, N.M., et al. (2008) [abstract] The study contains data from a participatory evaluation of a multisite national demonstration project on family violence in the US. This article focuses on the DV service organizations in the demonstration with regard to collaborations with other agencies and work within the dv system to respond to dually victimized families. Findings suggest that dv agencies participated in leadership roles, cross-system collaborations, and cross-system trainings throughout the initiative. Within-agency practice changes were less apparent. Research and policy implications are discussed.
Muftic, L.R. and Bouffard, J. A. (2007) [abstract] Recently, the coordinated community response (CCR) has been developed as one example of an approach aimed at reducing domestic violence. Prior research has generally found support for the model, with male offenders recidivating at lower rates. The current study examines whether a comprehensive, community-based approach is capable of reducing recidivism rates among male and female offenders. Specific attention is given to the intervention process, including differences in service or treatment component completion and recidivism by gender.

Pence, E. and McMahon, M. (1997) This report is produced by the Duluth Project (DAIP) based in Minnosota, USA which is a pioneer in the coordinated community response to domestic violence. It invites practitioners to look at their own practices rather than focusing on the idiosyncratic characteristics of the offenders or victims. This means examining how those who work in as many as eleven different specialized agencies and five different levels of government can coordinate their work so as to protect victims' safety and discovering why they fail to do so.
