This course has been designed for law enforcement and provides an overview of domestic violence. Officers will explore common tactics perpetrators of violence employ to control intimate partners and families; how specific neurobiological structures and physiological processes are involved in traumatic events; learn how trauma affects victims’ behavior and memory encoding and recall; and develop the skills to lead trauma-focused interviews with victims/witnesses which can yield better investigations and outcomes.
