Abstract

The first briefing from Project Bright Light, an action research project on the police response to domestic abuse, focuses on national policy issues. The research, conducted in partnership with Avon and Somerset police, found significant systemic problems arising for operational policing in England and Wales based on both the national domestic abuse definition and current crime recording practices.
