Over the past 10 years, Portland Police data shows that domestic violence related assaults have been declining along with other types of assaults. In 2011, domestic violence accounted for 42% of reported assaults, including half of simple assaults and almost one-third of aggravated assaults. However, unlike national trends described above showing a leveling-off of domestic violence crimes and a continued decrease in other violent crimes, Portland has seen reported domestic violence decline more than other violent crime since 2005. Although the reason for this local decline in domestic violence is unclear, it is worth noting that it coincides with the implementation of the Portland Police Bureau's research-based recidivism risk tool, which helps domestic violence investigators prioritize followup based on recidivism risks. Although a direct cause/effect link cannot be made, it is a noteworthy association and a very positive trend. However, the local trend may be changing. In 2011, restraining order applications and reported domestic violence crimes both increased by 6%, and domestic violence reports continued to be 5% higher in the first half of 2012. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div></td></tr></table><p class=MsoNormal><a name=LETTER.BLOCK10></a><span style='display:none'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%' id="content_LETTER.BLOCK10"><tr style='height:15.0pt'><td width="100%" style='width:100.0%;background:gray;padding:1.5pt 1.5pt 1.5pt 4.5pt;height:15.0pt'><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:4.5pt'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";color:white'>On The Net...</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";color:#F6E8B1'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></td></tr><tr><td width="100%" valign=top style='width:100.0%;padding:3.75pt 3.75pt 3.75pt 3.75pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:4.5pt'><!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shapetype id="_x0000_t75" coordsize="21600,21600" o:spt="75" o:preferrelative="t" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" filled="f" stroked="f">
