Overview

   The Judicial Oversight Demonstration (JOD) Initiative tests the idea
   that a coordinated community response to domestic violence that ensures
   a focused judicial response and a systematic criminal justice response
   can improve victim safety and service provision, as well as increase
   offender accountability. During fiscal year 1999, three demonstration
   sites were competitively selected to participate in a five-year
   demonstration initiative: City of Boston/Dorchester District Court, MA;
   Washtenaw County, Ann Arbor, MI; and Milwaukee County, WI. Since
   implementation, each demonstration site has developed multiple
   governmental and non-governmental partnerships working to address
   domestic violence.

   The following materials provide an overview of the project and a
   summary of each demonstration site:
