Slide 2 text: Bullet point 1: The only US-based survivor-centered pieces on OPDV came out in 1991 and 1992. Bullet point 2: Both papers found at least 40% of officers had violently lost control in the last year. Bullet point 3: Since then, no other papers on OPDV have centered survivors. Bullet point 4: There have been several officer-facing pieces

Slide 3 description: brown background with a white box outline tucked in on the edge. Slide 3 text: As a consequence, officer-abuser knowledge on OPDV has been exclusively prioritized by academics for nearly three decades.

Slide 4 description: Teal-gray background with a white box outline tucked in on the edge. Two large quotation marks appear on the page, at the beginning and end of the quote. Slide 4 text: "...couple with the sole elevation of officer-abuser perspective in OPDV, means that police culture has infected the totality of our contemporary understanding of the issue."

At the end of June, my article on Police Officer-Perpetrated Domestic Violence (OPDV) was published in Violence Against Women. I’ve now added it to ResearchGate and created this summary deck as a way to counter the many silos paywalls create.
