Which statement about the review and advice form is true?

• A. It is optional for non-dominant aggressor
• B. It is mandatory for non-dominant aggressor
• C. It applies to arrests of both parties
• D. It determines the dominant aggressor

Answer: (A)

This question tests how the review and advice form is used in domestic violence situations to handle the dominant vs. non-dominant aggressor situation. The form gives the non-dominant aggressor an option to seek review or add information after an arrest; it is not required for them to fill it out. In other words, its use is optional for the non-dominant aggressor. This is why that statement is the true one.

The form isn’t a blanket requirement for arrests involving both parties, nor is it the tool that decides who the dominant aggressor is. The dominant aggressor determination rests on the officer’s assessment of evidence, injuries, statements, and history. The review and advice form simply provides a mechanism to request reconsideration or provide additional context, not to make the final determination.
