WSIPP published findings earlier this year on the first two tasks. In this report, we complete the legislative assignment and describe the recidivism rates of domestic violence offenders in Washington. To conduct the analyses in this report, we use WSIPP's criminal history database, which was developed to conduct criminal justice research at the request of the legislature. The database is a synthesis of data from the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) and the Department of Corrections (DOC). This report contains three sections. In the first section, we provide context on the volume of cases filed in Washington State's criminal courts and the proportion of those cases that are domestic violence. Next, we examine re-offense behavior of domestic violence offenders after entering the criminal court system. In the final section, we examine recidivism trends of domestic violence offenders over an eight year period. A technical appendix contains a detailed description of the data and data-processing for this study. Details: Olympia, WA: Washington State Institute for Public Policy, 2013. 9p.
