While an increasing body of literature has assessed police response to intimate partner violence (IPV), a dearth of this research has examined police decision-making with formal reports of IPV among Latina immigrants. Using a LatCrit theoretical framework, the current study addressed this substantive gap through the systematic methods of the grounded theory approach to assess a sample of 36 police case files drawn from an agency located in one of the fifth most populous and diverse US cities. Results from the current study identified five themes related to shortcomings in police response to Latina immigrant IPV victims. The themes included cultural coercive control, language barriers, victim participation, case clearance efforts, and service provision. Policy implications and avenues for future research are discussed.

虽然越来越多的文献评估了警察对亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 的反应，但这项研究的匮乏通过拉丁裔移民中的 IPV 正式报告来检验警察的决策。使用 LatCrit 理论框架，当前的研究通过扎根理论方法的系统方法解决了这一实质性差距，以评估来自位于美国第五大人口和多样化城市之一的机构的 36 个警察案件档案样本。当前研究的结果确定了与警察应对拉丁裔移民 IPV 受害者的不足有关的五个主题。主题包括文化强制控制、语言障碍、受害者参与、案件清理工作和服务提供。讨论了政策影响和未来研究的途径。
