Murder at Home: An Examination of Legal and Community Responses to Intimate Femicide in California

This report is a comprehensive assessment of how different systems work together, and separately, to address domestic violence and domestic violence murder in California.

Excerpt: “This first volume of the Murder at Home Report focuses on law enforcement and probation department responses to domestic violence, as well as inter-agency efforts to gain meaningful information and prevention strategies through post- homicide data collection and domestic violence death reviews. Also included in this volume are the results from our survey of 100 cases, occurring from 1998 through 2002, in which women were murdered by their male intimate partners (’100-Case Survey’).”
