Recent research has pointed to the need for systematic law enforcement training on domestic violence when nonfatal strangulation is involved to improve evidence-based prosecution of these potentially deadly assaults; however, virtually no research has examined the legal response to nonfatal strangulation since many states have made it a separate criminal felony. The current exploratory study examines filing, charging, and adjudication decisions of nonfatal strangulation cases over a 3-year period based on evidence documentation in law enforcement reports to explore how these cases are handled by the criminal justice system in Brevard County, Florida. Results support previous research showing the importance of training police officers and other personnel as insufficient evidence may be one possible factor limiting the prosecutors' ability to successfully prosecute domestic violence strangulation offenders to the highest extent available under the law. Implications spread across multiple disciplines.

家庭暴力案件中非致命性勒死的检察应对。

最近的研究指出，当涉及非致命性勒死时，需要对家庭暴力进行系统的执法培训，以改善对这些潜在致命袭击的循证起诉；但是，由于许多州将非致命性绞杀列为单独的刑事重罪，因此几乎没有研究审查对非致命性绞杀的法律反应。当前的探索性研究基于执法报告中的证据文件，审查了3年内非致命勒死案件的归档，起诉和裁决决定，以探索佛罗里达州布里瓦德县的刑事司法系统如何处理这些案件。结果支持以前的研究，表明培训警察和其他人员的重要性，因为证据不足可能是限制检察官的行为的一个可能因素 依法可以最大程度地成功起诉家庭暴力勒死罪犯的能力。含义涉及多个学科。
