Title: Domestic Violence in Idaho: 2008-2013

Summary: The purpose of this report on domestic violence in Idaho is to inform the criminal justice community and other interested parties about the prevalence and characteristics of intimate partner violence and court cases often associated with domestic violence within the state of Idaho. This report presents information on police-reported violence between intimate partners and domestic violence related court cases during 2008 through 2013. Information on intimate partner violence comes from police incidents reported to the Idaho Incident Based Reporting System (IIBRS). Within this section, Intimate partner violence (IPV) refers to violent crimes reported to the police where the victim was an offender's spouse, ex-spouse, common-law spouse, or boy/girlfriend, as provided in police incident reports. As a result, data from IIBRS does not necessarily reflect the statutory definition of domestic violence in the state of Idaho. Within the Idaho Supreme Court Records section of this report, domestic violence is defined by statute as a battery or assault of another household member (i.e., spouse, former spouse, child in common, or a cohabitant). Included in the analysis of court data are crimes associated with domestic violence: stalking, attempted strangulation, protection order violations, violations of no contact orders, as well as domestic violenceassault/battery. Highlights Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) from the Idaho Incident Based Reporting System (IIBRS) - Simple assaults make up 76% of all IPV crime and 67% of all violent crime. - The majority of violent crimes are by someone known to the victim (80.4%). - Crimes involving intimates most frequently occurred on Sunday (18.4%) and Saturday (16.7%). - Bannock County (5.34), Clearwater County (5.31), and Kootenai County (5.23) had the highest average rates of IPV victims per 1,000 residents between 2008-2013, - Violent crimes involving intimate partners were more likely to result in an arrest, however, prosecution was more likely to be declined. Domestic Violence Related Court Cases - A total of 72,383 violent offenses (aggravated assault, homicide, rape, harassment etc.) were filed from 2008 through 2013. Of those, 45% were domestic violence related charges (n=32,761). - Domestic assault/battery was the leading charge for 2008-2013 with 59% of charges falling within that category. - Of the cases where age was included, more than one third (37.3%) of the defendants were between the ages of 25 and 34. This group accounted for 7,097 domestic violence related charges. - Almost half of the charges involving domestic assault/battery were amended to another charge before the case was closed.
