Editors’ Note: The understanding of intimate partner abuse has deepened over the past few decades through feminist activism in the legal, academic, funding and social arenas. Author Ellen B. Gattozzi argues, however, that the response to violence in the intimate lives of all people — regardless of gender identity — still has a ways to go. Gattozzi writes that any response to intimate partner violence must evaluate the effect of police action and must be rooted in the specific needs of different individuals and
communities.
