Civil protection orders have become a critical component of the legal system's efforts to address intimate partner abuse (IPA); they are the most common legal tool battered women use against their partners and ex-partners. The study will enhance our understanding of procedural justice theory and situated justice theory by drawing on the perspectives of victims of intimate partner abuse who use civil protection orders. Procedural justice theory suggests that if citizens view legal processes and procedures as fair, both positive and negative legal outcomes will be viewed as acceptable. Unlike prior conceptualizations of procedural justice, situated justice emphasizes the broader context of peoples' lives and how that, in turn, impacts their perceptions of the law. The perceived fairness of the process is critical to understanding both faith in and future use of the legal system. The study will draw on the experiences and decisions of women who have sought civil protection orders shortly after a hearing and again three months later. To gain a rich understanding of women's experiences, courtroom observations, researcher-administered surveys, and semi-structured interviews will all be conducted over time. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that the health-related costs of rape, physical assault, stalking, and homicide by intimate partners exceed $5.8 billion annually; of this total, nearly $4.1 billion are for direct medical and mental health care services and nearly $1.8 billion reflect productivity losses. Although increases in the number of survivors filing for orders and contacting the police will initially lead to higher costs, prior research has found that every dollar spent on protection orders in Kentucky led to a savings of $30.75. Research findings will provide court systems in Delaware and nationwide with a better understanding of the civil protection order process from the perspectives of women seeking orders, contributing to improved efficiency and effectiveness.

民事保护令已成为法律体系解决亲密伴侣虐待问题 (IPA) 问题的重要组成部分；它们是受虐妇女针对其伴侣和前伴侣最常用的法律工具。该研究将通过利用民事保护令的亲密伴侣虐待受害者的观点，增强我们对程序正义理论和情景正义理论的理解。 程序正义理论表明，如果公民认为法律程序和程序是公平的，那么积极和消极的法律结果都会被认为是可以接受的。 与先前的程序正义概念不同，情境正义强调人们生活的更广泛背景以及这反过来如何影响他们对法律的看法。过程的公平性对于理解法律体系的信仰和未来的使用至关重要。该研究将借鉴听证会后不久以及三个月后再次寻求民事保护令的妇女的经验和决定。 为了深入了解女性的经历，法庭观察、研究人员管理的调查和半结构化访谈都将随着时间的推移进行。美国疾病控制与预防中心估计，亲密伴侣实施的强奸、人身攻击、跟踪和杀人造成的健康相关成本每年超过 58 亿美元；其中，近 41 亿美元用于直接医疗和精神保健服务，近 18 亿美元反映了生产力损失。 尽管申请保护令和联系警方的幸存者数量增加最初会导致成本上升，但之前的研究发现，肯塔基州在保护令上每花费一美元，就能节省 30.75 美元。 研究结果将使特拉华州和全国的法院系统从寻求命令的妇女的角度更好地了解民事保护令程序，从而有助于提高效率和效力。
