This article aims to present the state of knowledge regarding socio-legal intervention in domestic violence. More specifically, we refer to all specialized socio-legal services, interagency coordination mechanisms, as well as coordinated response systems to domestic violence where psychosocial and judicial interventions are linked. In order to do so, we will first trace the evolution of the social response to spousal violence elsewhere and in Quebec. Then, the general portrait of the socio-judicial intervention in domestic violence will be drawn with particular attention to its application in Quebec. Finally, the known impacts of these interventions will be presented through a synthesis of the studies that evaluated them.
