Respond to Retaliatory Violent Disputes

A violent retaliatory dispute is a conflict between multiple people that carries on over time. A violent retaliatory dispute is characterized by confrontation and intimidation in which at least one event involves violence or threats of violence. Law enforcement agencies can reduce violence associated with retaliatory disputes by assessing their local problem and implementing investigative interventions to reduce violence. If the problem is widespread, agencies may consider implementing a retaliatory violence reduction program.
