N2  - Information sharing among criminal justice agencies can take a number of forms. This chapter considers the strengths and pitfalls associated with one criminal justice initiative presumed to enhance women’s safety from known violent men: the domestic violence disclosure scheme (DVDS; otherwise known as Clare’s Law). The chapter outlines the nature of these schemes, the process of implementation, and their reliance on accurate information and the presumed assumption that women will act on the basis of information shared with them. It considers the benefits and limits of such schemes and the problems associated with them in ensuring access to information for hard-to-reach populations. It concludes by suggesting that the reliance of DVDS on responsibilising women for men’s violence(s) in relation to the information shared with them renders such schemes limited in their capacity to ensure women’s safety.
