- When studying the current Portuguese domestic violence landscape, the case of Porto was highlighted by some police professionals as a different approach to domestic violence occurrences. We discovered the existence of organisational experience, involving a broad partnership, and with an evident interest by the media. Corresponding to the IMPRODOVA[1] conceptual framework, the Porto experience merges both, an organisational arrangement from the Public Security Police which involves intra-organisational cooperation, as well as an inter-organisational cooperation between the police, several NGOs, health services, and public prosecutor services. Altogether, they aim at a clarification of the problem at hand, goals and stakes, resources and actors involved. In this article, the case study of the Porto experience is presented and discussed within a broad critical reflexion about social change in contemporary societies.
