Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine perspectives of individuals who graduated (N = 14) from a domestic violence court (DVC) operating in a rural county in a Midwestern state. The graduates spent an average of 16.6 months in the DVC, with an average of 55.93 hearings, 84.57 surveillance checks, and 12.29 violations. Graduates shared positive accounts of their interactions with DVC personnel and described several positive changes during the time they were in the DVC. Evaluation efforts of DVCs are critical as advocates, law enforcement, and court administration, and intervention service providers work together to coordinate comprehensive responses to violence.
