| ABSTRCT | Policing intimate partner violence (IPV) in Asian contexts has received relatively
little research attention since few jurisdictions have specific legal provisions to prohibit IPV.
Even less research has been conducted to understand the circumstances under which police
petition for protection orders while dealing with IPV victims in a non-Western society. This
study seeks to address this gap in research by exploring the pattern of police petitioning for
protection orders in Taiwan when dealing with IPV incidents. This study assesses the
determinants of police filing both urgent and non-urgent protection orders; it focuses on 944
IPV incidents involving female victims. Multivariate analysis is employed to examine the
impact of victim-, perpetrator-, and incident-related factors on police filing protection order
petitions. Results show that all three factors predict police actions, with somewhat different
effects on the two types of protection orders. Taiwan police decision-making in the IPV area
entails frequent discrepancies between “law on the books” and “law in action” with respect to
IPV victims. We call for more empirical studies on both coercive and supportive types of
police actions against IPV. Some policy implications related to the goal of enhancing the
effectiveness of police-initiated protection orders in Taiwanese society are derived from the
