SP - 557 EP - 569 VL - 38 IS - 3 N2 - One-third of all women in the United States have experienced intimate partner violence, and when an abuser has access to a gun, the risk of intimate partner homicide increases fivefold. The inclusion of firearm restrictions in domestic violence protective orders (DVPOs) can reduce homicide risk; however, little is known about the implementation of these restrictions. Our study explores the processes Sheriff's officers use when serving emergency (ex parte) DVPOs with firearm restrictions.
