Domestic Violence and Law Enforcement

It Started in Duluth

An exploration of the law enforcement response to gender violence, this is a fast-paced, informative, street-level look at domestic violence policing in three sharply different jurisdictions.

We start in Duluth, MN, home of the influential "Duluth Model" and the first jurisdiction to introduce mandatory arrest. Next, a unit in Baltimore, MD, that puts detectives on the streets as first responders and follow up investigators. And finally, Bronx, NY and the 46th precincet - probably the nation's busiest domestic violence patrol area.

Three Cities. Three Departments. One Common Goal.
