This report highlights promising practices currently employed around the United States and in tribal jurisdictions that represent innovative approaches to enforcing domestic violence firearm prohibitions. It provides brief descriptions of programs that are located primarily in law enforce- ment agencies, prosecutors’ offices, courts, and probation departments. The work of one state legislature in enacting statutes to protect victims of domestic violence is also described because comprehensive legislation represents the first step toward disarming abusers.
