DOMESTIC VIOLENCE FIREARMS PROHIBITIONS Enforcing Domestic Violence Firearm Prohibitions: A Report on Promising Practices Two senior staff at AHP drafted a detailed manual on promising practices for enforcement of state and federal firearm prohibitions to disarm dangerous intimate partner and family abusers. Written for the Office on Violence Against Women of the Department of Justice and the National Center on Full Faith and Credit, and based in part on extensive AHP field research, as well as analysis of state and federal laws, the manual covers model programs for law enforcement, prosecutors, courts, probation, as well as state firearm data bases and legislators. The manual is being widely disseminated across the country.
