Police officers are society’s first interveners in intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) and are essential for victim safety. Despite IPVAW laws, police attitudes influence their real actions during IPVAW intervention. However, the fuzzy conceptualization of the construct deters the pursuit of conclusive evidence. This systematic review sought to identify the components of police attitudes toward intervention in IPVAW and their determinants. A search was conducted through several databases (e.g., Web of Science). Papers were included if they (a) provided original empirical findings or were review studies, (b) were published between 1990 and 2019, (c) were written in Spanish or English, (d) alluded to police officers, and (e) focused on police attitudes toward intervention in IPVAW or their determinants. Fifty-seven papers were included. The studied components of police attitudes toward intervention in IPVAW extracted from the literature were tolerance of IPVAW, minimal police involvement, unsupportive and supportive attitudes toward the legal system and legislation against IPVAW, understanding of the complex nature of abuse, and IPVAW intervention as an important police task. Moreover, the central role of individual and situational determinants in police attitudes toward intervention in IPVAW was confirmed, whereas organizational and societal determinants were studied scarcely. This review proposes a framework upon which to build operational definition of police attitudes toward intervention in IPVAW and includes remarks on police backgrounds and the situational characteristics of IPVAW events that are essential in shaping police procedures for managing them. Empirical evidence should be transferred to police training and standard operating procedures.

警察是社会对亲密伴侣暴力侵害妇女行为 (IPVAW) 的第一批干预者，对受害者的安全至关重要。尽管有 IPVAW 法律，但警察的态度会影响他们在 IPVAW 干预期间的实际行动。然而，结构的模糊概念化阻碍了对确凿证据的追求。该系统回顾旨在确定警察对干预 IPVAW 的态度的组成部分及其决定因素。通过几个数据库（例如，Web of Science）进行了搜索。如果论文 (a) 提供了原始实证研究结果或属于综述研究，(b) 发表于 1990 年至 2019 年之间，(c) 以西班牙语或英语撰写，(d) 暗指警察，并且 (e) 重点突出关于警察对干预 IPVAW 或其决定因素的态度。包括 57 篇论文。从文献中提取的警察对干预 IPVAW 态度的研究组成部分是对 IPVAW 的容忍、最少的警察参与、对法律制度和反对 IPVAW 的立法的不支持和支持态度、对虐待的复杂性的理解以及 IPVAW 干预作为一个重要的警察任务。此外，个人和情境决定因素在警察对干预 IPVAW 的态度中的核心作用得到证实，而组织和社会决定因素却很少被研究。本次审查提出了一个框架，在此框架上建立警察对干预 IPVAW 的态度的操作定义，并包括对警察背景和 IPVAW 事件情境特征的评论，这些对于制定警察管理程序至关重要。
