Limited research has investigated police service provision and advocate involvement in domestic violence (DV) incidents. This study used a stratified random sample of 368 cases from an urban police department to assess police officers’ decisions to provide service provision and to involve an advocate in formally-reported DV incidents. Multivariate binary logistic regression models revealed decreased suspect age and presence of physical abuse significantly increased service referral. Advocate involvement significantly decreased when the victim and suspect were married, when the suspect used alcohol and/or drugs, and when there was physical evidence present in the case. Alternatively, suspect weapon use, victim injury, and service referral by police increased later advocate involvement. Implications and future research directions are discussed.

有限的研究已经调查了提供警察服务并主张卷入家庭暴力（DV）事件。这项研究使用了来自城市警察局的368例案件的分层随机样本，以评估警官决定提供服务并让倡导者参与正式报告的DV事件。多元二元logistic回归模型显示可疑年龄的减少和身体虐待的存在显着增加了服务转诊的机会。当受害者和犯罪嫌疑人结婚，犯罪嫌疑人使用酒精和/或毒品以及案中有身体证据时，辩护人的参与大大减少。另外，可疑武器的使用，受害者的受伤以及警察对服务的转介增加了后来提倡者的介入。涵义和未来的研究方向进行了讨论。
