Título: "Specialised Courts and Reporting of Intimate Partner Violence: Evidence from Spain" (trabajo conjunto con Marta Martínez-Matute, UAM & IZA)

Abstract: This paper assesses the effect of the creation of specialised intimate partner violence (IPV) courts on the reporting of these crimes and on the incidence of IPV homicides. We find that the opening of a specialised IPV court decreases the time to resolution of IPV cases in the judicial district by 65% and increases the reporting of IPV by approximately 24%. On the other hand, we do not find any effect of these courts on the incidence of IPV homicides within the period studied.
