Abstract: 

This column reviews Executive Summary of Stalking: Its Role in Serious Domestic Violence Cases, by Patricia Tjaden and Nancy Thoennes, the same researchers who did the National Violence Against Women Survey. They have now examined the model Domestic Violence Enhanced Response Team (DVERT) program of the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) to see how the DVERT is handling stalking cases. DVERT is “a nationally recognized, one-of-a-kind domestic violence prevention program that provides a multi-disciplinary system response to cases of domestic violence that have a high risk for lethality.”
