Every year, domestic and intimate partner violence (DV/IPV) affects millions of Americans. Addressing DV/IPV in the pretrial phase requires nuanced methods to balance the safety of victims and the rights of the people accused. APPR’s new self-assessment resource is designed to help pretrial system and community stakeholders evaluate their responses to DV/IPV during the pretrial period to ensure their policies and approaches align with best practices. Criminal justice and community stakeholders in DuPage County, Illinois, recently became the first to deploy the APPR’s DV/IPV Pretrial Self-Assessment.
