MPA Domestic Violence Board Annual Report Metropolitan Police Association (2009) The second annual report of the board considers the reports submitted, the questions asked and the discussions that have taken place.

The attrition of rape allegations in London: A review
Metropolitan Police (2007) In order to better understand why so few allegations of rape result in successful prosecutions (‘attrition’), this report presents an end-to-end review of the criminal justice outcomes of 677 rape allegations previously explored in the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) 2005 Rape Review.
HM Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate and HM Inspectorate of Constabulary (2007) In 2002, HMIC and HMCPSI published a joint thematic inspection report on the investigation and prosecution of rape offences. The report made a total of 18 recommendations and three suggestions to improve the investigation of rape cases by the police. This review was conducted to assess progress against the recommendations and suggestions of the 2002 inspection.
Results of Home Office Survey of Police Data Collection on Domestic Violence: summary of findings Home Office (2006) Thirty police forces submitted responses to the survey of domestic violence data collection. Not all forces responded to individual questions, therefore the percentages use the total number of actual responses to each question as the denominator
MPS Training Standards Unit (2005) This report presents the findings of an evaluation of the MPS Domestic Violence Training Programme. The evaluation examined the ‘inputs’ or ‘enablers’ of the training programme: identification of needs, training design, implementation and delivery. However, the main focus was on ‘outcomes’: how participants reacted to the training, application of their learning in the workplace, and crucially, the impact of the training on organisational results and MPS service delivery.
MPS (2004) This analysis presents the MPS and the criminal justice system as a whole with an opportunity to learn the lessons about domestic violence offenders and become more proactive and intelligence-led around prevention, protection and enforcement in the future.
Humphreys, C. et al. (2005) This report provides a process evaluation to shed light on how the implementation of the SPECSS+ risk assessment model is proceeding. It considers what lessons can be learnt to inform future phases of implementation and whether and under what circumstances it could be recommended to other forces.
Miller, S. (2001) Increasingly, women are being arrested for domestic violence charges as part of dual arrests (when their partner is also arrested) or as a result of their own actions. This article explores this issue by examining one state's experience, using interview data from criminal justice professionals and service providers who deal directly with women arrested for domestic violence charges.
