HM Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) 11/4/2019 News Reconceptualizing the Child Victim in the Police Response to Domestic Violence Constructions of the child victim of domestic violence (DV) have changed over the last number of years from once passive bystander to active agent and victim in their own right. Although police as first responders are more aware of the risk to children living with DV, there continues to be a disparity among officers in recognizing and responding to the child as victim. Drawing on qualitative research conducted in Ireland involving interviews with 10 children (most aged 7–9) and 14 police officers, this paper looks at how the child is seen by police as victim during a DV call-out and the way through which children’s coping strategies may indirectly make them a less obvious victim to warrant a direct response from police. A story-telling approach captured children’s views in an ethically safe manner. Interviews with police were semi-structured and explored individual officer’s views and experiences of responding to DV incidents with children present.

Based on personal observation and autoethnographic reflection, analysis of gang identification protocol, and interviews with graffiti writers who negatively define themselves against gang members as part of constructive identity formation, I argue that relying on graffiti as an indicator of gang activity calls into question the merits and efficacy of anti-gang policing. I situate this discussion within a cultural criminological framework and critique of broken windows policing.
