CAMI MDT Grant 2017-19 Update
Greetings CAMI MDT Grantees!
Thank you for your hard work on the CAMI MDT 2017-19 Grant applications. The CAMI Program and CAMI Advisory Council have completed review of the applications. Modification requests will be forwarded to you soon (approximately June 26th).  With regard to finalizing CAMI MDT budgets, we do not have final numbers from the legislature yet.  When we receive those numbers, we will make final allocations and request that you adjust your CAMI MDT budgets if necessary. If you have questions or need assistance with grant application modifications, please contact  me at your convenience. As always, I am happy to work with you to ensure compliance with the grant requirements.
Best,

A special commentary, “Jail Calls: What Do Kids Have to Do with It?” in the Journal of Family Violence<https://link.springer.com/journal/10896> is available free for the next few weeks at this link: https://goo.gl/np6N4c. This article prompts the question, “What is happening in your county? Are offenders able to contact victims directly or through third party contact with family members including children (despite no contact orders/due to gaps in process) and if so, how can the process be improved?” This article does not address the impact these calls have on children, but offers a touchpoint for further conversation about what child abuse intervention experts know about the effects these behaviors have on children.

From Rebecca J. Macy, PhD, MSW*: As recognized by the U.S. Supreme Court, witness tampering is a significant problem in domestic violence cases (Davis v. Washington, 126 S.Ct. 2266, 165 L.Ed.2d 224, 2006). Unfortunately, for many domestic violence victims, abusers continue to tamper with them while awaiting court appearance and sentencing, often via phone calls made from jail. In 2011, Professor Amy Bonomi<https://hdfs.msu.edu/people/faculty/bonomi-amy-e-phd-mph> and her colleagues published the field’s first analysis of jail phone calls<http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S027795361100445X> that occur between domestic abusers and their victims; outlining a five-stage model describing how abusers manipulate their victims into changing their stories to lessen impending criminal charges.

When leading an investigation and providing expert testimony based on their prior research, Professor Bonomi and her colleague and co-author, Mr. David Martin, are often asked how abusers involve their children (directly or indirectly) during jail calls. This special commentary uses three case examples to demonstrate how domestic abusers triangulate their children into the abuse dynamic during jail calls. Data for the three case examples come from more than 17,528 felony domestic violence cases charged in King County, Washington over the last 15 years.
