Background and objectives
Policymakers and researchers alike could benefit from an assessment of the existing body of research using Campbell Collaboration review procedures, particularly on the question of whether a policy of mandatory arrest is better than informal dispositions.
Based on earlier, less rigorous moderator analyses, the author propose sto conduct subgroup analyses of the available evidence in order to test hypothesis. The author hypotheses that a meta-analysis will show that arrest deters employed suspects, but increase subsequent domestic assault by unemployed suspects. The author also will test the effect of marriage as a moderator of arrest effects on repeat domestic violence.
