Crime, Violence and Victimization Research Division's Compendium of Research on Violence Against Women
Publication Date: 2014
Abstract: The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) has invested in research on violence against women, and their research touches on a wide variety of public safety concerns, including intimate partner violence, teen dating violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking, as well as criminal justice challenges, including the availability of legal and victim support services, the effectiveness of prevention programs, and the impact of such crimes over time. Each year, the NIJ updates a compendium that includes an abstract of each grant research study with details on how to find further publications. This gives researchers and support providers easier centralized access to recent evidence-based findings. The latest update includes NIJ-supported research on violence against women from 1993 to 2014.
