The argument is illustrated by explaining the evaluation process of three domestic violence projects which all had the same aim, which was to reduce domestic violence. The evaluated projects all delivered advocacy programmes and were located in disadvantaged areas in the United Kingdom. A more suitable evaluation approach is proposed whereby practice principles are transferred rather than projects and this is presented in the form of a 'practice model'.  cOxforddJuly 2007vVol. 47, n. 4tBritish Journal of Criminology (The)x0007-0955pp. 671-691  aVIOLÊNCIA DOMÉSTICA  aMÉTODO DE INVESTIGAÇÃO  aREINO UNIDO  aPARMARbAlpa  aSAMPSONbAlice
