Human factors shaping the cooperation of police with other sectors: the example of domestic violence

Abstract

Policing is a profession with a significant human factor component, and police psychology has contributed to its structure and to improve police relations throughout various fields of crime prevention and intervention. Within police and in police-client interaction, the management of the human factor has become quite elaborate in policing. However, in the challenging field of domestic violence, there is a lot of uncharted land. The EU-funded research project IMPRODOVA sought to approach this topic in an empirical approach via document analyses, secondary data analyses and expert interviews. Its major insights and outputs for police practice (including an open access training website) are discussed in the following. Also, recommendations for police multi-professional and inter-agency cooperation are presented
