abstract="Instances in which the police responded to misdemeanor domestic assaults in which offenders were absent when the police arrived, were randomly assigned to receive or not to receive a warrant for their arrest. Comparisons of the two experimental groups using both victims' reports and official measures of recidivism found that the warrant group had lower rates of recidivism and took longer to fail than did the no-warrant group.<p />",
