Analysis of New law Enforcement Systems and Procedures That Can Be Adopted to Mitigate Domestic Violence after the Abolition of Police
Topic Background
The recent issues with police brutality have affected how communities perceive and interact with law enforcement. Consequently, the hate, hostility, mistrust, and fear of extreme outcomes from simple interactions with police have triggered more people to call for the abolishment of police and formulation of different law enforcement models. While police have long served the role of maintaining peace and order, most departments have been faced with endless claims of harassment, laxity, and unprofessionalism, especially when responding to domestic abuse and violence. Police have been criticized for neglect of domestic violence victims when they call the police mainly due to gendered institutions. Still, police play a major role in the first response, investigation, prosecution, and protection of victims. As people continue to pressure the government end police, the question of how domestic violence can be mitigated without police arises. The proposal seeks to identify better ways that can be more efficient and more acceptable by communities.
Explanation
Gender violence is a major societal issue, and the police respond to hundreds of domestic abuse and violence cases in a day. However, a larger proportion of domestic abuse and violence cases go unreported, especially when the victims are women or are abused by people they love. Research and media reports on domestic violence suggest that more women do not trust the police to help or offer a viable solution to domestic violence, especially due to the issues of gender and equality. Furthermore, the police force has one of the highest gender imbalanced workforces in America. When victims can no longer trust departments that are funded to protect them, the importance of such a department is weakened. However, better strategies for mitigating domestic violence have not been advanced or tested in these communities. For people who seek to dissolve their police departments, it is paramount to assess what change will be felt in terms of domestic violence enforcement, what the potential problems and challenges will be, and how the challenges can be solved. This research shall explore pillars and institutions that can be formulated as better alternatives for police in relation to the challenges and gaps that exist in police enforcement and propose viable solutions to the challenges.
Plan and Sources
The plan is to use the literature review methodology to identify the most robust scholarly published journals relating to domestic violence law enforcement. In specific, literature scoping will be used to map literature from most developed societies in the world on this particular topic and research area. The mapped literature shall then be used to explore key concepts of enforcement, research gaps, sources, and types of evidence. The evidence will then be used to policing, policymaking, and enforcement framework. Some of the primary sources that I will use include;
