Professor Evaluates Effectiveness Of Domestic Violence Specialty Courts.

The expertise of Ling Ren, criminal justice professor and researcher at Sam Houston State University, is helping the Montgomery County District Attorney's office.

According to Ren, it is estimated that there are over 200 Domestic Violence (DV) Specialty Courts now in operation in the United States. Texas is well known for its specialized DV courts located in various large counties, some of which are recognized as national leaders by the U.S. Department of Justice’s office on Violence Against Women. Yet, when looking at the literature on these specialty courts, few in Texas have been systematically and scientifically evaluated. Ren helped to change that, specifically for the DV Specialty Court in Montgomery County.

“The average conviction rate per prosecution by all DV Courts is incredibly high at 89 percent for nearly a decade. They have incredibly determined and aggressive prosecution, all supported by statistical results. This puts Montgomery County among the national high performers in handling assault family violence cases. One of the hallmarks of the DV Specialty Court is its very quick processing time. Typically, when you have quick processing, the victim will be better protected. The prosecutors will also have witnesses recanting stories less often, so they will have stronger evidence from the witness and the victims to support their prosecution. The fastest case processing time documented by the DV Court from case intake to conviction was 38 days by aggregated median measure. That is very quick if you compare it with literature conducted in other jurisdictions,” Ren concluded.
