posted on 2006-06-08, 16:15 authored by Erin Lane, Graham Farrell, Joan LuceraThis chapter describes the emergence of an entity dedicated to improving inter-agency
coordination in domestic violence service delivery, the Domestic Violence Coordinating
Committee (DVCC), then charts its work and activity level from its formation in 1987 to the
time this research was conducted in 2000. In addition to an overview of the history of the
DVCC, this chapter includes a discussion of the factors found pertinent for success and failure of
DVCC, and a concluding section where these themes are drawn into an analytical framework.
Special attention is given to the role of the police department and its relationships over time with
the DVCC and with the individual agencies in the domestic violence service community.
