COLLABORATION ACROSS SYSTEMS

operationalization of CAS. Overall, CAS has a strong likelihood of reducing the reoccurrence of domestic violence for first time batterers and ultimately maintains safe and stable families.
Project Structure, Methodology, and Action Components
Prototype Example - Policy
Policy change is necessary to implement CAS. The prototype (See Appendix D) is statutory language that can efficiently be utilized for promulgation in Colorado and other jurisdictions. The prototype, if authorized by the Colorado General Assembly, will be legislative policy change that constructs a standardized model for nationwide replication. The prototype is necessary, primarily because it changes Colorado law and allows for services rendered to first time batterers with uniformed fashion. Essentially, all stakeholders, throughout various municipalities throughout Colorado, will have a general awareness of what the program is, how it will service first time batterers, and the fiscal revenue & expenses for sustainable implementation.
Market for the Proposed Project Relative to Alternative Options
According to Colorado Revised Statute 18-6-802.5, when batterers are referred to treatment programs with regard to their sentencing, they are legally responsible for paying for the costs of evaluations and services. Though the current statutory language states that batterers are to be offered sliding scale accommodations, this researcher is concerned that many first time batterers fail to comply with domestic violence evaluations and services simply because they either do not have the funds or feel that the matter is not significant enough to pay. This prototype eliminates the barriers associated with batterers paying for services. Therefore, if first time batterers are not engaged in services, they cannot look at the inability to pay as a reason for not receiving assistance.

| Abstract | There is a problem with reoccurring domestic violence among batterers, and several systems are working to address the issue; however, these efforts are usually in a siloed fashion. Within the context of the stopping family violence Grand Challenge for Social Work, there have not been reasonable all-inclusive solutions. The size, scope, and social significance of the problem is significant, based on the fact that approximately 1600 women in the United States of America die due to reoccurring domestic violence. On average, either a current or past partner murders two women each week (Cerise, 2011). ❧ This capstone proposal will utilize the collaboration across systems framework to address the reoccurrence of domestic violence. It is designed to address critical issues of the day-to-day practice of stakeholders from various systems working together from the initial 911 call to successful case closure. The proposal represents an innovative way to address the problem of reoccurring domestic violence and stakeholders working in silos due to its request for regular services wrapped around domestic violence batterers. Based on evidence and logic developed from several existing stakeholder efforts abroad, the capstone will produce successful joint efforts of various stakeholders. While small to start due to this innovation pilot in Arapahoe County, Colorado, the long-term vision of the project is primarily due to the endless possibilities of its replication worldwide. |
