This systematic review evaluated outcomes associated with arrest for domestic violence (DV), for both victims and perpetrators, considering both classic and modern research. A systematic search of 5 databases for quantitative reports resulted in 1,379 potentially relevant entries, of which 34 met the inclusion criteria. Studies were screened using prespecified criteria for the population (adults), outcomes (individual-level outcomes), study design (quantitative, including arrest for DV as a focal independent variable and a non-arrest comparator), publication type (peer-reviewed academic journal), study location (United States), language (English), and publication year (in or after 1984). Part I employs narrative synthesis to explore the impact of arrests by race/ethnicity, revealing gaps in reporting and a scarcity of analyses that consider race/ethnicity or its intersections with gender. Part II, a meta-analysis, indicates that arrest does not consistently reduce repeat violence and suggests variability based on the type of comparator used and the proportion of Black victims in a sample. The review finds that much of the research on the impacts of arrest is outdated and lacks diversity in data sources and outcomes, with few studies examining outcomes other than repeat violence. Future research should prioritize an intersectional approach and the perspectives and needs of survivors. Policymakers should consider the potential for disparate impacts and evaluate alternatives to mandatory arrest policies, with funding available for new data sources and related projects. Ultimately, policymakers must consider the context when evaluating the effectiveness and ethics of arrest policies.

与因家庭暴力逮捕相关的结果： 系统评价和荟萃分析


本系统评价评估了受害者和肇事者因家庭暴力 （DV） 而被捕的相关结局，同时考虑了经典和现代研究。对 5 个数据库的定量报告进行系统检索，得到 1,379 个可能相关的条目，其中 34 个符合纳入标准。使用人群（成人）、结局（个体水平结局）、研究设计（定量，包括 DV 停滞作为焦点自变量和非停滞对照）、出版类型（同行评审的学术期刊）、研究地点（美国）、语言（英语）和出版年份（1984 年或之后）的预先指定标准筛选研究。第一部分采用叙述综合来探讨按种族/民族划分的逮捕的影响，揭示了报告方面的差距以及考虑种族/民族或其与性别交叉点的分析的稀缺性。第二部分，荟萃分析，表明逮捕并不能始终减少重复暴力，并表明根据使用的比较对象的类型和样本中黑人受害者的比例存在差异。审查发现，许多关于逮捕影响的研究已经过时，数据来源和结果缺乏多样性，很少有研究检查重复暴力以外的结果。未来的研究应优先考虑交叉方法以及幸存者的观点和需求。政策制定者应考虑可能产生的不同影响，并评估强制逮捕政策的替代方案，并为新的数据源和相关项目提供资金。归根结底，政策制定者在评估逮捕政策的有效性和道德规范时必须考虑背景。
