The Domestic Violence and Repeat Victimisation project was commissioned as part of the Home Office Police Research Group's (now Policing and Reducing Crime Unit) programme on repeat victimisation. The project arose out of earlier research and policy development on policing domestic violence and the early stages of this present project were financed by the West Yorkshire Police1. The new operational procedures and their evaluation were carried out during January through December 1997, in the Killingbeck Division of West Yorkshire Police in Leeds. The aim of this present project was to reduce repeat victimisation through a three tiered programme of operational interventions. It required an equal focus on the victimised woman and the offending man in order to set up an interactive crime prevention approach that both protected the victim and demotivated the offender. The programme required all the officers at Killingbeck to implement the Force policy on domestic violence; that is, to proceed pro-actively and to ensure the safety of the victim, along with closer inter-agency involvement with organisations supporting victims and with those that respond to offenders.
