    (Center for Victim Research (CVR), 2018) Bastomski, Sara; Duane, Marina
    The Center for Victim Research is assessing the state of the field in victim response specific crime types. This research brief summarizes findings from the larger synthesis on the research and practice evidence about homicide co-victimization (people who have lost a loved one to homicide). Topics covered include prevalence of victims, risk and protective factors, harms and consequences, services available (such as grief support groups), and policy, practice, and research implications. See also the full synthesis report, "Losing a Loved One to Homicide: What We Know About Homicide Co-Victims from Research and Practice Evidence," the bibliography of sources, and the related CVR webinar where results are discussed.

    Losing a Loved One to Homicide: What We Know About Homicide Co-Victims from Research and Practice Evidence
    (Center for Victim Research (CVR), 2019) Bastomski, Sara; Duane, Marina
    The Center for Victim Research is assessing the state of the field in victim response specific crime types. This synthesis compiles research and practice evidence about homicide co-victimization (people who have lost a loved one to homicide). Based on the available statistics, the authors estimate that "anywhere from 9% to 15% of the U.S. adult population experiences homicide co-victimization" and between 8% and 18% of youth report experiences of homicide co-victimization. Risk factors discussed include race, gender, living in an urban area, and possibly socioeconomic status. Homicide co-victims often experience a range of psychological, economic, and social harms and co-victims may develop prolonged or complicated grief. This report also discusses barriers to healing, such as media coverage of their loved one's death, social stigma, and secondary victimization from legal, medical and other systems. Finally, the report provides an overview of available programs such as grief support groups and how professionals can help the healing process for homicide co-victims (Table 1 on page 21 for a summary of practices that may help or hinder in the short-term and long-term). See also the research brief "Homicide Co-Victimization," the bibliography of sources, and the related CVR webinar where results are discussed. (CVRL Abstract)

    Pretrial Strategy for Handling Intimate Partner Violence Cases: An Innovation Fund Case Study from Buncombe County, North Carolina
    (Urban Institute, 2018) Duane, Marina; Vasquez-Noriega, Carla
    Pretrial agencies are well positioned to manage and mitigate risks of intimate partner violence by monitoring some aggressors in the community and routinely assessing risk levels. This case study highlights Buncombe County, North Carolina’s experience implementing a pretrial protocol that provides nuanced supervision of aggressors who have engaged in intimate partner violence. After one year of implementation, Buncombe County has seen a 10 percent reduction of admissions to jail among people with intimate partner violence charges. The study examines early outcomes and implementation challenges, builds upon scant research about the effective pretrial supervision of IPV cases, and charts a course for other localities that seek to institute an effective response.
