Intimate Partner Violence- Understanding The Context - Self-Paced Course
This course has been designed for law enforcement and provides an overview of domestic violence. Officers will explore common tactics perpetrators of violence employ to control intimate partners and families; how specific neurobiological structures and physiological processes are involved in traumatic events; learn how trauma affects victims’ behavior and memory encoding and recall; and develop the skills to lead trauma-focused interviews with victims/witnesses which can yield better investigations and outcomes.
