Final Report: Domestic Violence Court Pilot Project Sydney, Nova Scotia (2016)

In June 2012 the Nova Scotia Department of Justice launched the Domestic Violence Court Pilot Project in Sydney. The project allocated a special court with dedicated staff to provide intervention and pre-sentence treatment for individuals who plead guilty to domestic violence related offences. This evaluation report assesses the implementation process and whether the outcomes were achieved. It also provides baseline data describing the operation of the pilot project.
