| 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. |
