This is the final report of an evaluation conducted from 1996 to
the summer of 2001 to assess 123 American Indian projects that
received grant funding under the STOP (Service, Training,
Officers, Prosecutors) grant project of the VAIW (Violence
Against Indian Women) program, which is intended to counter
domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking against Indian
women. |
| Abstract:
|
The evaluation research relied primarily on four primary data
sets derived from site visits, the mailout survey, the telephone
survey, and ancillary materials supplied by the programs. This
report provides basic descriptive information about who is served
by the programs, the structuring of programs, what services are
being provided, service recipient responses, and level of
satisfaction, as well as the program impact overall. The projects
varied widely in their missions and goals, their structuring,
their activities, the nature of their implementation, and their
primary clients. The report, although covering all aspects of
program activity, focuses on best practices and successful
innovations. Throughout the report, the discussion features
activities in various arenas of endeavor, such as the court, law
enforcement, and victim services. The topics addressed include
the development of codes and ordinances, survivor services, the
role of the advocates, and protection orders. Innovative and best
practices are assessed in terms of their effectiveness in serving
the needs of the victims of domestic violence, sexual assault,
and stalking. The best practices identified are those that have
resulted in changes in values and belief systems that result in
reductions in violence against women, changes in structures and
procedures that facilitate preventing and addressing violence
against women, and direct services for women who have been
victimized. Specific recommendations are provided under the
general areas of coordinated community response, victim services,
law enforcement, and prosecution. Extensive figures, appended
