We investigated the degree to which legislatively mandated firearm restrictions for domestic violence protective orders (DVPOs) have been implemented in North Carolina. We used a representative sample of n = 406 DVPO hearings (2016–17) and found that defendant access to firearms was seldom discussed (23.81%). Among granted orders (n = 303), 69.5% prohibited defendant firearm possession (n = 238) but only 38.61% ordered firearm surrender (n = 143). There were higher odds of restrictions when the defendant had threatened to kill the plaintiff (OR for prohibited possession: 2.25, CI: 1.02, 4.97; OR for firearm surrender: 1.93, CI: 1.09, 3.40); no other lethality indicators were significant. Judges verbally announced firearm restrictions only in one out of three cases (30.87% of DVPOs granted with prohibited possession; 33.02% of firearm surrender cases).

解除施虐者的武装：家庭暴力保护令 (DVPO) 枪支限制程序和处置

我们调查了北卡罗来纳州对家庭暴力保护令 (DVPO) 实施的立法强制枪支限制的程度。我们使用了n  = 406 次 DVPO 听证会（2016-17 年）的代表性样本，发现很少讨论被告获取枪支的问题（23.81%）。在已批准的命令（n  = 303）中，69.5% 禁止被告持有枪支（n  = 238），但只有 38.61% 下令交出枪支（n = 143)。当被告威胁要杀死原告时，限制的可能性更高（或禁止持有：2.25，CI：1.02，4.97；或枪支交出：1.93，CI：1.09，3.40）；其他杀伤力指标均不显着。法官仅在三分之一的案件中口头宣布了枪支限制（30.87% 的 DVPO 被授予禁止持有；33.02% 的枪支交出案件）。
