Crime, Violence & Victimization Research Division's Compendium of Research on Violence Against Women, 1993-2014

This 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.
