relationship skills and prevent the devastating cycle of abuse.

Facilitated Sexual Assault (AFSA), TWO-PART WEBINAR SERIES


  

Facing challenges in the prosecution of Alcohol Facilitated Sexual
Assault (AFSA), TWO-PART WEBINAR SERIES. Presented on Wednesday,
February 23 and Friday, February 25, 2011, by Anna E. Craprotta, Sexual
Assault Project Attorney for the Prosecuting Attorneys Association of
Michigan.  

We invite the Michigan Prosecutor Community to "attend" TWO webinars
this month, each of which will provide you with the tools necessary to
better prepare for the difficulties faced in the prosecution of alcohol
facilitated sexual assaults.  

Please join us for this SPECIAL TWO-PART WEBINAR SERIES on Wednesday,
February 23 and again on Friday, February 25, 2011, from 12:15 PM-1:00
PM, via webinar. 

 Unfortunately, when the victim is under the influence at the time of
the sexual assault, confidence in the case is jolted from the very
beginning. 
A vast majority of the non-stranger sexual assaults being reported
involve alcohol use.  Many victims feel shame or self-blame for the
assault.  Many victims experience a decreased ability to remember or
perceive what happened.  These are all challenges that prosecutors can
defeat by using an offender-focused approach to AFSA cases. 

Program:  Our featured panelist presenter, Christopher Mallios, is an
Attorney Advisor for AEquitas: The Prosecutors' Resource on Violence
Against Women.  Mr. Mallios presents on trial strategy, legal analysis
and policy at the local, state, and national level.  For more than 10
years, Mr. Mallios prosecuted crimes involving violence against women.
Here are just a few of the topics that will be covered:

1) Making the charging decision and evidence-based prosecution 

2) Analyzing credibility and corroboration

3) Offender-Focused prosecution

4) Use of experts on intoxication

5) Overcoming defenses

Please feel free submit questions relating to this topic, prior to the
webinars, at: aecraprotta at gmail.com, so that we may address them during
the webinar.

Multnomah County 

receives national grant as one of eight sites in the country to develop the Defending Childhood Initiative



   

 

This October, the Multnomah County Domestic Violence Coordinator's office was given the opportunity to participate in a new federal demonstration project through the Office of the Attorney General.  The Defending Childhood Initiative, launched by Attorney General Eric Holder in response to the findings of the National Survey on Children's Exposure to Violence, seeks to address violence exposure by raising awareness of the problem of children's exposure to violence, helping to prevent exposure, and providing effective services and treatment for children who have already experienced violence.

 

In October of 2010, eight sites began their Defending Childhood Initiative demonstration projects.  Since then, an expansive collaborative effort has been launched throughout Multnomah County to engage state, county, and city agencies, service providers, school districts, non-profits, and community members in a strategic planning process.  This collaborative will work to develop a comprehensive and coherent approach to enhance prevention, intervention, and awareness of children's exposure to violence that builds on our existing foundation of services to children and families.  There is an opportunity for additional on-going funding after the demonstration project is completed, and Multnomah County will be pursuing these funds for the implementation of our strategic plan.

 

The issue of children's exposure to violence is a national crisis.  According to the findings of the National Survey, over 60% of America's youth have been exposed to at least one form of violence in the past year, and nearly 40% have been exposed to multiple forms of violence.  In light of these findings, the Defending Childhood Initiative has become a priority for the Attorney General, and Multnomah County hopes to do its part to help reduce childhood exposure to violence in our community.

 

For more information on this initiative or to get involved, please contact Rita Moore, Project Coordinator, at rmoore at multco.us or 503-988-4995.

 
  

National Survey on Children's Exposure to Violence: Witnessing Domestic Violence Is Associated With Other Forms of Childhood Victimization 

 

The recent National Survey on Children's Exposure to Violence (NatSCEV) investigated children's exposure to a wide range of violence, including conventional crime, child abuse, sexual victimization, peer and sibling victimization, dating violence, and witnessing domestic violence.  This study found that over 60% of children ages 0 to 17 will experience some form of direct or indirect victimization during their lifetimes, and almost 40% are exposed to multiple forms of violence. It also found that domestic violence is one of the most common forms of direct or indirect violence experienced by children, with approximately 1 in 10 children witnessing domestic violence during the past year. Although significant numbers of children in all age groups witnessed domestic violence, not all suffered significant trauma symptoms.

 

The NatSCEV study confirmed the already well-documented association between domestic violence and child abuse. Looking at past-year exposure to violence, the NatSCEV study found that 1 in 3 children who witnessed domestic violence were also victims of child abuse/maltreatment, compared to 8.6% of nonwitnesses. Looking at lifetime rates, the study found that more than half (56.8%) of children and youth who witnessed domestic violence also experienced some other form of child maltreatment in their lifetimes. As found in previous studies, the NatSCEV study found that physical child abuse had a particularly strong association with domestic violence, with nearly 1 in 3 children/youth who witness domestic violence also experiencing physical abuse compared to fewer than 1 in 20 for children/youth who have never witnessed domestic violence. 

 

The study also found that some specific types of victimization have uniquely strong associations with witnessing domestic violence. Three-quarters of children who experience custodial interference, for example, have also witnessed partner violence. Put another way, about 1 in 5 children and youth who experience custodial interference have a lifetime history of witnessing domestic violence, compared to only 1.5% of children who have never witnessed partner violence. A similar strong association was found with sexual abuse by a known adult. More than 70% of children and youth sexually abused by a known adult had also witnessed domestic violence. The risk of dating violence is also significantly higher for youth who have witnessed domestic violence, with a nearly fourfold increase in lifetime risks for dating violence.

 

While this and previous studies consistently demonstrate that domestic violence frequently overlaps with child abuse, this national survey found that, surprisingly, domestic violence was also associated with virtually every form of child or youth victimization, even forms of violence that are very different from domestic violence such as property crime. In general, children who witness domestic violence are 3 to 9 times more likely to experience some other form of violence than children who do not witness domestic violence. However, it is important to note that despite this significant overlap, it should not be assumed that children who have witnessed domestic violence have also experienced other victimizations, nor should it be assumed that children who have experienced other victimizations have also witnessed domestic violence.  

 

Multiple victimization experiences can have significant consequences for children. This study found that children who experience many different types of violence tended to have worse trauma symptoms than children who experience only one form of violence, even if that single form of violence is severe and chronic. Thus, a child who is exposed to only domestic violence - even if it is chronic and severe - is likely to fare better than a child who exposed to multiple types of violence, even if those multiple types of violence are less severe. The researchers also suggest that exposure to domestic violence may be a key component in creating conditions that lead to other forms of victimization, and recommend that services for both adult domestic violence victims and child victims be better integrated and take these overlapping risks into consideration. Finally, the researchers recommend that collaborative efforts and service models that emphasize help and protection for both the child victim and the adult victim should be the norm.

Homicides Related to Intimate Partner Violence in Oregon: A Seven Year Review

 

The National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) recently released their report of Homicides related to IPV in Oregon. NVDRS Oregon collects data from several data sources: Oregon Medical Examiners' reports, Oregon Crime Lab reports, Oregon Law Enforcement Data System Uniform Crime reports, the Homicide Incident Tracking System, local law enforcement reports, Death Certificates, and Child Fatality Review Reports. 

 

Key Findings:

?         Approximately one in five homicides in Oregon was related to IPV. 

?         Intimate partners committed 46% of the homicides among females ages 15 and older. Women were more likely than men to be killed by an intimate partner; 80 percent of female victims were killed by their current husbands or boyfriends in the incidents of IPV-related homicide. 

?         Men in the incidents of IPV-related homicide were far more likely than women to be killed by someone other than an intimate partner. 

?         Approximately two thirds of victims who were killed by an intimate partner were living with their perpetrators when the incident occurred. 

?         More than 40 percent of the incidents of intimate partner homicide were followed by a suicide or suicide attempt. 

?         Three in four homicide-suicide events were related to IPV. 

?         Gunshot wound was a predominant mechanism of death in the incidents of IPV-related homicide. 

?         Sixty-five percent of victims who were killed by an intimate partner were at her/his own home when the incident occurred.

?         The city of Portland had the largest number of IPV-related homicides, followed by the cities of Beaverton, Eugene, Milwaukie, and Salem. 

?         The number of intimate partner homicides in Oregon remained relatively stable between 1997 and 2009.

Domestic Violence Counts!

 

The National Network to End Domestic Violence recently released the results of the 5th annual Domestic Violence Counts: a 24 hour census of Domestic Violence Shelters and Services. For the full 2010 report and state summaries please go to www.nnedv.org/census <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=9gaoxacab&et=1104436126471&s=5266&e=001zP_3-W8UDPxH6o1ZgbIWqmM-ZWiIN1eIdcKvoeXhw2i5JzpSOh5gMlCPW_ykdyjWjHb-SQaodaiTVXs5XHA0MGNWBJVEjfRZGn7_upidaeQ2_KWD7wlGDQ==>      

IN JUST ONE DAY:

*	A record 1,746 (91%) participating local domestic violence programs participate 
*	Assisted 70,648 adults and children through shelter, transitional housing, and advocacy 
*	Answered 22,292 hotline calls, over 16 calls every minute  
*	Trained 30,134 attendees at 1,240 community education sessions  
*	Unfortunately, 9,541 requests for services went unmet because of a lack of resources or staffing. Sixty percent (60%) of the unmet requests were for emergency shelter or transitional housing and 40% of the unmet requests were for non-residential services.   

 As communities continue to experience job loss and decreased community resources, 1,441 (82%) programs reported a rise in demand for services, while at the same time, 1,351 (77%) of programs reported a decrease in funding.

 

What About Multnomah County?  Local information from the National Domestic Violence Census

 

To get a snapshot of domestic violence services and needs in Multnomah County, domestic violence victim services providers in Multnomah County also shared their National Domestic Violence Services Census data with Multnomah County Domestic Violence Coordinator's Office. These 13 programs reported the following services provided on a single day in September 2010.  

*	 Emergency Shelter: 54 households with 61 children received emergency housing services through shelters and motel vouchers. 
*	Transitional Housing:  137 households with 210 children were housed in a transitional housing program. 
*	An additional 401 households including at least 91 children received other domestic violence advocacy and support services. 
*	Combined, these 13 agencies provided 10 separate trainings and responded to 226 hotline calls.  The most frequent need that could not be met was emergency shelter, with 89 requests for emergency housing turned away due to lack of space or funding.

U-visa Toolkit

When Congress created the U-visa in the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) under the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Prevention Act of 2000, its intent was to strengthen the ability of law enforcement agencies to detect, investigate, and prosecute cases of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, and other crimes; and to offer protection to victims of such crimes. The following link will take you to new U-Visa Materials and Tool Kit for Law Enforcement Use of the U-Visa <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=9gaoxacab&et=1104436126471&s=5266&e=001zP_3-W8UDPzTMhOOT-HYDp-RV-Kaigv_NAw82ojLlTj_JaDoDhIwQfS7GbB1Y2nuxSFtPvrDfL6n8YeNRMrUanuUFFFmtXO5DEfSIgDCLDWZhW157NGcGAhIdU9pmlOaTEnO_mgG9pK8CjV67PqFYgh_UlGM-wSqD5DOqCMaLO4jg3D3kUAIhV3KEb_0vWD6dFZ0oQ_fSkfCKy3E2dUCZgIoAoq0uxYNTPY1uPJ_JJ3fxh2Dh2FUnKgm_3D00fIdzyF1UHDsasZjlERpFQzkbz4wombOIGiSPHsGf0cbHBa78DsoTLboZEHCDgqstDfLwaab5h6esbZKpZWa-g9olBhM2tOHO8BxwvOKaPHwugM=> , created by Legal Momentum and the Vera Institute.  

 

This tool kit is designed to assist law enforcement agencies develop U-visa certification policies/protocols to enable immigrant victims of crime to access the U-visa.  The tool kit was created with input from law enforcement officers and contains legal info, sample policies, FAQs, and other information we hope you'll find helpful in your advocacy efforts.

About this Workshop 

This course will explore the link between intimate partner violence and
women's reproductive health. Intimate partner violence (IPV), birth
control sabotage and other forms of reproductive coercion present unique
challenges for intervention as well as prevention.  Strategies from a
community-based family planning clinic intervention to reduce partner
violence will be presented. In addition, the unique characteristics of
adolescent relationship abuse, and the ways to integrate relationship
abuse education into existing adolescent health programs (including
pregnancy prevention), will be explored. 

 

Who Should Attend

This course is designed for licensed clinical providers such as nurse
practitioners and other midlevel clinicians, RNs and public health
nurses, as well as community educators, clinical and program managers,
youth development workers, and others who work with adolescents in
family planning or other community service settings.

Subject: [DV_listserv] Answers to Questions
Message-ID: <mailman.221.1298232163.15653.dv_listserv@listsmart.osl.state.or.us>

Hello, All: I'd sent out an email with a couple of questions. Here are the answers I've received so far: If you'd like to weigh-in, please send your responses to ME. Thank you!

First Question: Which, if any, jurisdictions have policies, procedures or practices that discourage mutual restraining orders being issued?

 Illinois has a statute prohibiting mutual orders of protection. It is found at 750 ILCS 60/215 and reads, 
"? 215. Mutual orders of protection; correlative separate orders. Mutual orders of protection are prohibited. Correlative separate orders of protection undermine the purposes of this Act and are prohibited unless both parties have properly filed written pleadings, proved past abuse by the other party, given prior written notice to the other party unless excused under Section 217, satisfied all prerequisites for the type of order and each remedy granted, and otherwise complied with this Act. In these cases, the court shall hear relevant evidence, make findings, and issue separate orders in accordance with Sections 214 and 221. The fact that correlative separate orders are issued shall not be a sufficient basis to deny any remedy to petitioner or to prove that the parties are equally at fault or equally endangered."

Crook County: Our jurisdiction does not have any policies that discourage mutual restraining orders.  

Josephine County: I'm not aware of any particular practice discouraging mutual ROs.  I see them occasionally but not too often.

 

Second Question: What bail amounts are courts setting for misdemeanor crimes of DV? For Violations of ROs?

Clackamas County: If we don't ROR (which we commonly do when someone is eligible for DVDSP), we set bail at $50,000 for Class 'A' misdemeanors, $20,000 for Harassments and VROs $10K - $25K depending on their history.

Crook Co.: Currently, our courts are not setting bail for misdemeanor domestic violence unless there is a long history or other aggravating factors.  We have no jail space.  For almost all misdemeanors (and many felonies) and violations of restraining orders, the majority of defendants are booked and released almost immediately.  

Josephine County: Bail amounts of DV cases are ridiculously low in our county.  We have to have pretty compelling facts to get 30-50k on an assault 4 felony and the defense attorneys tell the court that measure 11 is only mandated at 50k so a class C felony should be much less.  If I have a Coercion or Kidnapping it's easier to get 40+.  Without any input from the state the court will routinely conditionally release defendant's charged with misd crimes, or if they are kept in custody 5-10k.  Assault 4 felony usually around 10-15k.  RO violations, conditional release or 2-5k.

National Institute on the Prosecution of Domestic Violence II
Washington, DC - March 22-25, 2011


The National Institute on the Prosecution of Domestic Violence II (NIPDV
II) is a three and one-half day advanced training course designed for
prosecutors who have previously attended the original National Institute
on the Prosecution of Domestic Violence (NIPDV I). NIPDV II builds on
the trial advocacy skills and concepts developed during NIPDV I and
integrates emerging legal issues and nuanced challenges, such as
offenders' use of technology in stalking cases, that front line
prosecutors face. This advanced course is designed to simulate an
intensive, felony-level domestic violence caseload. Throughout the week,
participants will manage several cases from initial evaluation through
trial and sentencing by prioritizing resources; analyzing charging
decisions; overcoming complex defense tactics; effectively using medical
and psychological expert consultants; communicating with the media; and
addressing ethical considerations.

NIPDV II utilizes a highly interactive team format to engage and
challenge prosecutors from across the country by exposing them to the
expertise of our distinguished faculty and encouraging them to learn
from each other's collective experience. The mock case files the
participants will use are based on actual domestic violence cases and
are designed to encourage participants to confront and overcome
increasingly difficult challenges. NIPDV II participants will be
expected to make hard decisions, with limited resources, that guide the
pretrial investigation and preparation of their cases. The decisions
participants and teams make during each exercise will determine what
evidence is available to them, affect their ability to make informed and
appropriate charging and trial decisions, and ultimately impact their
ability to hold offenders accountable and keep victims and communities
safe. Participants will leave NIPDV II prepared to implement thorough
case evaluation and preparation techniques and innovative trial
strategies to achieve justice in domestic violence cases.

Application Process
This course is open to all prosecutors and attendance is free of charge;
however, priority will be given to OVW grantees. There is no limit to
the number of attendees from any jurisdiction. Seating is limited and
applicants are encouraged to apply early. Applicants will be informed of
acceptance by email. NOTE: Prior attendance at NIPDV I is required.
Please include the dates and location of your attendance at NIPDV I in
the additional information field.

CLE Credits
Attendance at this event will qualify participants for approximately
twenty (20) continuing legal education credit hours. Please check with
your state bar association in reference to application requirements and
related fees.

Here is information from Wallowa county about mutual restraining orders
and bail amounts in dv cases:

 

#1 - Our judges do not issue mutual restraining orders.  In my four
years, there have been two instances when the court issued restraining
orders to both parties after each one applied separately.  In both
cases, the female requested a hearing, and the male's RO was upheld.
One of these was within the last three weeks, and I watched part of the
hearing.  I didn't think the facts warranted the RO, but evidently the
judge did.  

 

Having said all that, our jurisdiction does not have a written policy or
protocol regarding mutual restraining orders.

 

#2 - Our judges routinely set bail for misdemeanor DV cases @ $5,000 and
the same for violations of an RO.
