Abstract

This publication won the 2023 Douglas Yearwood Award for Research/Policy Analysis. In an effort to better understand offending patterns among Idaho’s domestic violence (DV) offenders, the Idaho Statistical Analysis Center (ISAC) analyzed criminal history record data from the Idaho Criminal History Repository (ID CHR; housed at the Idaho State Police’s Bureau of Criminal Identification). Individuals were selected into the study sample if they had at least one domestic violence arrest or disposition in their Idaho criminal history record. If the individual did have such an arrest or disposition, their entire criminal history record was included. The resulting data set included 56,010 individuals who had a domestic violence arrest or disposition in the state of Idaho between January 1st, 1988, and March 16th, 2022 This report is intended to answer four research questions about those offenders. Key results are presented here, organized by research question.
