俄亥俄州:州长公布家暴新数据并推出援助新计划,55家庇护所获追加100万美元

在「家庭暴力意识月」期间,俄亥俄州州长迈克·德瓦恩(Mike DeWine)公布了州刑事司法服务办公室(OCJS)对1974年至2023年约200万起暴力犯罪逮捕记录的新分析,并宣布一系列支持家暴受害者和执法人员的新计划。
分析显示,在全部暴力犯罪逮捕中,略过半数包含家庭暴力指控;在因家暴被捕的人中,70%是暴力犯罪的重复犯罪者。2014年至2023年间,家暴在暴力逮捕中的占比为54%,最近五年升至56%;俄亥俄州88个县中有一半的家暴率高于全州平均水平。
德瓦恩已指示刑事司法服务办公室预留资金:为全州55家经该办公室认证的家暴庇护所追加100万美元,每家可获得一次性1.8万美元补助;新设防弹盾牌补助计划,帮助警员在处理高风险家暴现场时获得防护,这是他2018年担任州总检察长时创设的防弹背心补助计划的延伸。
新计划还包括:为执法机构提供致命性评估培训补助,帮助警员识别可能升级为命案的家暴情形;设立倡导者与执法人员搭档的「共同响应」模式补助,让受害者权益工作者与警方一起出警。
德瓦恩同时指示俄亥俄州社区警务合作顾问委员会制定全州统一的家暴响应与调查标准,纳入俄亥俄州家暴网络(ODVN)与刑事司法服务办公室于2026年4月发布的执法手册;该办公室还将支持举办七场免费区域培训。
俄亥俄州家暴网络执行主任玛丽·奥多尔蒂(Mary O'Doherty)称这批宣布像是「十月里的圣诞节」,对庇护所和一线倡导者是实实在在的支持。
Ohio: Governor DeWine Announces New Programs to Support Domestic Violence Survivors, Law Enforcement
During Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine released a new analysis by the Office of Criminal Justice Services (OCJS) of about two million violent-crime arrests from 1974 to 2023, and announced new programs to support domestic violence survivors and law enforcement.
The analysis found that just over half of all violent-crime arrests included a domestic violence charge, and that 70 percent of those arrested for domestic violence were repeat violent offenders. From 2014 to 2023 the domestic violence share of violent arrests was 54 percent, rising to 56 percent in the last five years; half of Ohio's 88 counties have domestic violence rates above the state average.
DeWine directed OCJS to set aside funding: an additional $1 million for Ohio's 55 OCJS-recognized domestic violence shelters, a one-time grant of $18,000 each, and a new grant program for ballistic shields for officers, a companion to the Bulletproof Vest Grant Program DeWine created as attorney general in 2018.
The package also includes a new grant program for lethality-assessment training, which helps officers identify domestic violence situations at risk of turning fatal, and a grant program for co-responder models that pair victim advocates with law enforcement.
DeWine also directed the Ohio Collaborative Community-Police Advisory Board to develop a statewide domestic violence response and investigation standard incorporating the Law Enforcement Handbook issued by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network (ODVN) and OCJS in April 2026; OCJS will support seven free regional trainings.
ODVN Executive Director Mary O'Doherty called the announcements "like Christmas in October" for shelters and frontline advocates.
