The current research details interviews with 50 victims and 50 defendants who participated in a specialized criminal domestic violence court in Lexington County, South Carolina. These victims and defendants indicated satisfaction with their court experiences, thought the process allowed them to voice their views, felt they were treated with respect, and were generally satisfied with the outcome of their cases. Court observations and interviews with court personnel confirmed that this court has successfully incorporated victims and defendants into the decision-making process while also providing a fair system to address the issue of violence against women.
当前的研究详细介绍了对50名受害者和50名被告的访谈，这些人参与了南卡罗来纳州列克星敦县的一个专门处理家庭暴力刑事案件的法庭。这些受害者和被告表示对他们的法庭经历感到满意，认为这个过程让他们能够表达自己的观点，感觉受到了尊重，并且总体上对案件的结果感到满意。法庭观察以及与法庭工作人员的访谈证实，这个法庭成功地让受害者和被告参与到了决策过程中，同时还提供了一个公平的系统来处理针对妇女的暴力问题。
