Abstract

Intimate partner violence is a pervasive, complex problem affecting the lives and health of a large percentage of women and children. This report provides data from an evaluation designed to address questions and concerns expressed about possible unintended effects of the mandatory reporting law on victims. Case reviews were completed on 631 adult protective service cases resulting from reports of intimate partner violence. Results indicate that following a report of suspected intimate partner violence made under Kentucky mandatory reporting law, all victims who could be located received at a minimum safety planning and information about community resources. Regardless of official case status, nearly half of all cases received services.
