Methods: Using statewide data, rates for domestic violence charges and convictions were calculated for 1999-2010. Descriptive analysis of the profile of domestic violence offenders, including their criminal trajectory, and predictors of recidivism are included. Results: Conviction rates for domestic violence have decreased over the past ten years and are significantly lower than rates for charges not related to domestic violence. The majority (58%) of first-time DV offenders have offenses pre – and post- their index DV event. A small, but substantial portion of offenders (24%) have no other offenses in the five years before or after their DV event. Conclusion: Domestic violence continues to be an issue of concern for the Washington State courts. Further detailed analysis needs to occur to better understand the variability in offender profiles and offense rates.
