We quantified the implementation of WA state's domestic violence (DV)-related firearm prohibitions (RCW9.41.800) by the courts and the Regional Domestic Violence Firearms Enforcement Unit (RDVFEU), a regional approach to compliance promotion. We measured implementation, vetting, compliance, and enforcement of firearm prohibitions before (2014–2016) and after (2018–2020) the RDVFEU was implemented using a 55% random sample of granted domestic violence protection orders (DVPOs) in King County, WA (n = 3543). We evaluated differences in judicial orders to surrender firearms and other dangerous weapons (OTSWs), respondent documented compliance, and respondent weapon and/or firearm relinquishment before and after implementation. Compared to DVPOs granted prior to RDVFEU implementation, granted DVPOs after RDVFEU implementation were at least 4.5 times more likely to include an OTSW. RDVFEU implementation was also associated with at least 3.4 times the odds of respondent documented compliance and at least 3.3 times the odds of respondent relinquishment of at least one firearm and/or other dangerous weapon. These findings demonstrate RDVFEU implementation was associated with benefits at each stage of the protection order process with improvements in both judicial enforcement and respondent compliance. Overall, RDVFEU implementation was associated with improvements in granted orders to surrender weapons, respondent compliance, and relinquishment.

家庭暴力保护令中的枪支限制：实施、审查、合规和执行

我们量化了法院和地区家庭暴力枪支执法单位 (RDVFEU) 对西澳州家庭暴力 (DV) 相关枪支禁令 (RCW9.41.800) 的实施情况，这是一种促进合规的区域方法。我们使用华盛顿州金县已批准的家庭暴力保护令 (DVPO) 的 55% 随机样本，衡量了 RDVFEU 实施之前（2014-2016 年）和实施之后（2018-2020 年）枪支禁令的实施、审查、合规性和执行情况( n = 3543）。我们评估了执行前后交出枪支和其他危险武器 (OTSW) 的司法命令、被告遵守记录以及被告放弃武器和/或枪支的差异。与 RDVFEU 实施之前授予的 DVPO 相比，RDVFEU 实施后授予的 DVPO 包含 OTSW 的可能性至少高出 4.5 倍。RDVFEU 的实施还与受访者记录合规的几率增加至少 3.4 倍，以及受访者放弃至少一件枪支和/或其他危险武器的几率增加至少 3.3 倍。这些调查结果表明，RDVFEU 的实施与保护令流程各个阶段的好处相关，并改善了司法执行和被告合规性。全面的，
