Book excerpt: "The Maricopa Association of Governments’ (MAG) Regional Domestic Violence Council, in partnership with Arizona State University’s Partnership for Community Development ... set out to determine an estimate of the fiscal impact of domestic violence upon local criminal justice systems in the MAG region. This pilot study included a survey of the police departments, prosecutor’s offices, and municipal courts of four municipalities to determine an estimate of local incidence, as well as local costs. The participating cities were the City of Avondale, City of Glendale, City of Phoenix, and City of Scottsdale. These four cities ... do not provide a representative sample of the entire MAG region. It was found that each municipality in the region tracks data on domestic violence-related crimes differently; therefore, it was difficult ... to reach an average cost for the entire region. Although the scope was significantly limited, it was determined that the average cost to provide the services included in the study would, at a minimum, likely range between $18 and $26 million per year across the MAG region"--Page 1.
