🔍 New Research Alert 🔍
Do protection orders really reduce reoffending in intimate partner violence cases?
I just co-authored a new open-access study that tackles this question in the Journal of Developmental and Life-Course Criminology.

We also emphasize the importance of methodological rigor: distinguishing between breaches and violent recidivism, and accounting for selection effects, significantly alters conclusions.

Using a longitudinal dataset of 6,000+ convicted IPV offenders in Catalonia, we find that while risk may initially increase, long-term protective effects emerge—particularly after several months. This suggests that protection orders are not a quick fix, but they can reduce recidivism over time
