Domestic Violence (CA only) (Archives, 1987-2019)
Summary: Domestic violence calls, types of domestic violence
Database Detail
| Name | Domestic Violence (CA only) (Archives, 1987-2019) |
| Summary | Domestic violence calls, types of domestic violence |
| Additional Background | This database contains information about abuse committed against an adult or a fully emancipated minor who is a spouse, former spouse, cohabitant, former cohabitant, or person with whom the suspect has had a child or is having or has had a dating or engagement relationship.
Law enforcement agencies record the total number of domestic violence calls, incidents in which weapons are involved, and, if so, what type of weapon. Starting in 2002, law enforcement agencies were given clarification about reporting personal weapons, which led to a decrease in the number of personal weapons reported. Starting in 2018, agencies report whether the incident involved strangulation or suffocation. As a result, calls involving strangulation or suffocation are NA prior to 2018. For additional information, see limitations for this database provided by the California Department of Justice.
Population data reflect July 1 figures each year and are based on data provided by the U.S. Bureau of the Census. Calls per 10,000 are not available for special districts since there is no reliable population data.

APA
Format or style, from the American Psychological Association, is commonly used for footnotes in behavioral and social science publications. APA citation is an author-year-system. It is one of the most common styles used and taught at colleges and high schools. See here for more details, including APA formatting for bibliographies.Chicago
Format or style (also known as Turabian), created by the University of Chicago, is commonly used for footnotes in history, business, and fine arts and occasionally in the humanities, sciences, and social sciences. The Chicago style has two systems of citation. The author-date system (most common in social sciences and sciences) cites sources parenthetically in the text. The notes and bibliography system (most common in humanities) cites sources in numbered footnotes or endnotes which correspond to a superscript number in the text. See here for more details, including Chicago formatting for bibliographies.MLA
Modern Language Association (MLA) format or style is most commonly used for footnotes in the language arts, cultural studies, liberal arts, and humanities. MLA uses short parenthetical citations within the text that are linked to an alphabetical list of work cited at the end of the document. MLA commonly cites using this format: author's last name, first name, title, publication, edition or chapter, and year. See here for more details, including MLA formatting for bibliographies.AMA
American Medical Association (AMA) format or style is most commonly used for footnotes in medicine, biomedical research, nursing, dentistry, and other life sciences. AMA uses numerical superscript for citing sources in-text and refers to a list at the end of the work. These references appear in sequential order of when the sources were cited, instead of alphabetical order. See here for more details, including AMA formatting for bibliographies.Derived From: California Department of Justice
