Funding patterns changed little during the period. On average, primary prevention programs, which focus on altering societal conditions before they produce violence, received 5 percent of funding; secondary prevention programs, which focus on helping persons deemed at risk, received 35 percent; and tertiary prevention programs, which focus on rehabilitating persons already affected by a problem, received 60 percent. Patterns in size of grants were noted. Included in the data for 1990 were 663 grants totaling $79 million. Domestic violence programs received 23 percent of the grants, but only 12 percent of the money. Rape programs received 6 percent of the grants, but only 1 percent of the money. In contrast, police violence and bias crimes programs received 1 percent and 2 percent of the grants, respectively, but each received 7 percent of the money. In terms of populations, programs dedicated to adults under age 65, females, and victims received smaller-than- average grants; those dedicated to specialists in medicine, social work, law, and education received larger-than-average grants. Few grants were given to programs dedicated to males and adults over age 65. Despite the high visibility of ethnic violence, no specific groups were targeted for research. 6 charts, 6 references
