Enhancing Police Responses to Gender-Based Violence in Miami Dade

Enhancing Police Responses to Gender-Based Violence in Miami Dade

 

Summary

This project seeks to mitigate the potentially re-traumatizing effect of negative
law enforcement responses to gender-based violence (GBV) and provide
recommendations for trauma-informed practices for Miami-Dade County (MDC)
police. Working in collaboration with community organizations, the aim of this
project is to assess the responses provided by police to GBV survivors in MDC,
advocate for trauma-informed procedures, and foster awareness of intersectional
bias in GBV-related policing.
