Data and Code for: The impact of improving access to support services for victims of domestic violence on demand for services and victim outcomes

These are the data and replication files to accompany our study "The impact of improving access to support services for victims of domestic violence on demand for services and victim outcomes". In this study, we conducted a randomised controlled trial of an intervention designed to assist victims of domestic violence in accessing non-police support services. The intervention led to a 22% decrease in the fraction of victims providing a witness statement to police. Witness statements are an important piece of evidence and a key input in the prosecution of perpetrators. Despite this, we do not nd a signicant change in perpetrator arrests and convictions or in reported future violence. Survey responses provide evidence of an increase in non-police service use, a reduction in future victimisation risk, but also a potential decrease in short-run well-being.
