Students, Faculty Investigate
Domestic Violence
Students and faculty of the MU Schools of Law, Journalism, and
Medicine have teamed up to take a look at just what happens when
domestic violence calls are reported. Students from the three school
analyzed public documents, interviewed participants and broadcast
news stories on regional television about the results.
The study generally found systemic
problems of weak government follow-through in response to domestic
violence calls in terms of investigation, prosecution, and
record-keeping. It also found that broadcasting stories about the
problem could bring positive changes.
