Understanding the Effects of Domestic Violence Specialized Courts in Puerto Rico, with Carolina Arteaga, Gustavo J. Bobonis, and Dario Toman
The goal of this project is to study the consequences of changes in access to justice for potential victims and offenders of intimate partner violence (IPV) on judicial efficiency and effectiveness, individuals’ wellbeing, and intergenerational family outcomes. Specifically, we plan to evaluate the impacts of the creation and large-scale implementation of a system of specialized domestic violence courts (SDVCs), and to conduct a series of studies to understand: (a) how the greater accessibility and support services offered to potential IPV victims (via SDVCs) has affected case sentencing and resolution, victims’ safety and support, defendants’ accountability, and family members’ human development; and (b) how judges—their background, preferences and priorities, and their perceptions of the functioning of the SDVCs and the traditional model—influence these outcomes. The work on the gradual establishment of SDVCs and the selection of personnel will also help determine ways to implement this type of access to justice programs sustainably and on a large scale.
Does War Empower Women? Evidence from Timor Leste, with Patricia Justino and Marinella Leone
Previous version: IDS Evidence Report 121
This study investigates empirically the relationship between exposure to violent conflict and women’s victimization in episodes of domestic violence later in life. By exploiting the effect of a large wave of violence experienced in Timor-Leste in 1999 and its variation across space, we assess its impact at various stages of their lives on the risk of women being victims of domestic violence and test a number of possible mechanisms that may intervene. The main results show that exposure of women to violent conflict during childhood, adolescence and youth is associated with an increased risk of being exposed to domestic violence. We observe that marriage status is a key factor shaping this relationship. There is also suggestive evidence that women that participated in the insurgency may be less likely to be at risk of domestic violence.
