It has been argued that the police do not respond to domestic calls involving same-sex couples in the same manner as they respond to calls involving heterosexual couples. A major problem facing researchers examining the police response to cases involving same-sex couples has been the lack of adequately sized samples. In this article, the authors utilize the 2000 National Incident Based Reporting System database, which contains 176,488 intimate partner assaults and intimidation incidents reported to 2,819 police departments in 19 states. The key issue examined is whether similar cases involving same-sex and heterosexual couples result in the same police response.
有人认为，警方对涉及同性伴侣的家庭求助电话的反应方式与对涉及异性伴侣的求助电话的反应方式不同。研究警方对涉及同性伴侣案件反应的研究人员面临的一个主要问题是缺乏足够大的样本。在本文中，作者利用了2000年基于事件的全国报告系统数据库，该数据库包含向19个州的2819个警察部门报告的176488起亲密伴侣攻击和恐吓事件。所研究的关键问题是，涉及同性和异性伴侣的类似案件是否会导致警方做出相同的反应。
