Coordinated Community Response / CCR

Through training events, site visits, phone consultations and resource sharing, BWJP shows how to link government and community agencies into a more seamless response to domestic violence cases. The purpose is to maximize victim safety and autonomy, and to hold offenders accountable for their violence.  Drawing from experience in Duluth, MN and other progressive cities, these CCR approaches are guided by systemic change perspectives, taking account of the diverse experience of victims, ongoing risk assessment, tracking case outcomes, and constructive problem-solving.  CCR resources are available for Arrest grant recipients including law enforcement, community victim advocates, prosecution, court staff, judiciary, probation, batterer intervention programs and other related government and community agencies.
