The Dynamic Constraint Framework™ was developed for professionals working throughout the domestic violence field, including law enforcement officers, detectives, prosecutors, defense attorneys, judges, domestic violence advocates, shelter personnel, clinicians, psychologists, psychiatrists, physicians, nurses, emergency medical personnel, forensic interviewers, victim service providers, researchers, educators, and policymakers.
This framework is being made available for professional review, interdisciplinary discussion, and continued development. If you or your organization are interested in evaluating, implementing, researching, or contributing to the ongoing evolution of the Dynamic Constraint Framework™ for Domestic Violence and Coercive Interpersonal Harm, please contact K. M. Glowicki at neverstopvoices@gmail.com to request additional information, collaboration opportunities, presentation materials, or future training resources.
Meaningful advances in victim safety require collaboration across disciplines. This framework is intended to support that collaboration by bringing together professionals committed to strengthening evidence-informed domestic violence prevention, investigation, intervention, and long-term safety planning.
"The future of domestic violence safety planning should not be built around teaching victims to perform more perfectly inside danger. It should be built around identifying, preserving, and rapidly expanding the combined capacity to interrupt the person imposing the danger."
"Every act of protection depends upon the continued ability to perform it. When that ability disappears, safety disappears with it."
