“…Instead, we have primarily qualitative work that describes survivors' responses to services. This research indicates that many survivors find DV services such as emergency shelters to be helpful (Phillips et al, 2021;Postmus et al, 2014;Ravi et al, 2021), especially in comparison to other formal providers (Brabeck & Guzmán, 2008;Burgess-Proctor, 2012;Mahapatra & DiNitto, 2013). DV services can help survivors gain safety, confidence, and trust in formal providers, as well as attend to basic material needs, as this Mexican-origin survivor attests: "The shelter is very helpful because I can sleep at night finally, and my son can sleep at night" (Brabeck & Guzmán, 2008, p. 1281.…”

“…Many Native survivors, especially those in isolated communities, face similar challenges, with both tribal and non-tribal LE often unavailable and unresponsive (Jock et al, 2022;Johnson, 2012). Some states' restrictive eligibility requirements mean that protection orders (POs) are unavailable to survivors who are lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or in a dating relationship (vs. married or cohabiting) (Calton et al, 2016;Logan et al, 2005Logan et al, , 2006, while survivors in rural communities may find that, even though they meet eligibility requirements, local judges or LE will refuse to issue or enforce a PO (Bhuyan & Velagapudi, 2013;Phillips et al, 2021). Finally, the U Visa, created by Congress in 2000 as a mechanism to help undocumented crime survivors achieve permanent legal status in the United States as long as they are deemed "helpful" to LE, is capped at 10,000 per year, rendering it unavailable to most eligible IPV survivors (Alanko, 2019).…”

“…I was afraid of the police especially after I was deported back to Mexico by the police before, I did not call the police when my husband beat me because I thought that the police would deport me back to Mexico again. (Vidales, 2010, p. 539) Furthermore, survivors are harmed by LE's involvement of child protective services (Lippy et al, 2020;Mookerjee et al, 2015;Phillips et al, 2021), nuisance laws that penalize them for calling 911, resulting in eviction in some cases (Arnold & Slusser, 2015;Park, 2015), revictimizing custody battles (Gutowski & Goodman, 2020), and litigation abuse, in which abusive partners use the legal system to torment survivors with no accountability (Ward, 2016;Williams, 2012).…”

“…If DV services are available, staff may be kind and caring, or cold, dismissive, or even harmful or revictimizing toward survivors. In general, DV providers are perceived as caring by survivors (Bergstrom-Lynch, 2018; Fisher & Stylianou, 2019; Fox et al, 2018; Ingram et al, 2010; Nnawulezi & Sullivan, 2014; Phillips et al, 2021).

While there is a growing literature on intimate partner violence (IPV) survivors and service providers, it is limited by its largely atheoretical and descriptive nature, and its emphasis on individual-level survivors’ help-seeking. We seek to broaden our understanding by shifting the focus onto organizations and service systems and introducing the concept of these providers’ trustworthiness toward survivors. Provider trustworthiness in delivering services includes benevolence (locally available and caring), fairness (accessible to all and non-discriminatory), and competence (acceptable and effective in meeting survivors’ needs). Guided by this conceptualization, we conducted an integrative review drawing on four databases: PsycINFO, PubMed, Web of Science, and Westlaw. We identified studies for inclusion that were published between January 2005 and March 2022, and we examined the trustworthiness of community-based providers serving adult IPV survivors in the United States, including domestic violence services, health and mental health care, the legal system, and economic support services ( N = 114). Major findings include (1) many survivors live in communities with no shelter beds, mental health care, or affordable housing; (2) many services are inaccessible because they lack, for example, bilingual staff, sliding fees, or telehealth options; (3) too many providers are harmful or discriminatory toward survivors, especially those who are, for example, sexual or gender minorities, immigrants or non-English-speaking, poor, or Native, Black, or Latinx; (4) many providers appear to be incompetent, lack evidence-based training, and are ineffective in meeting survivors’ needs. We call on researchers, advocates, and providers to examine provider trustworthiness, and we offer an introduction to measuring it.
