Lisa C. Newmark, Adele V. Harrell, William Adams

This document reports findings from evaluations of 23 law enforcement training projects, which were set up in accordance with the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act of 1984. The training projects were evaluated via three methods: (1) project summaries containing descriptive information on important process and outcome variables; (2) case studies to explore these variables through site visits to six model sites; and (3) surveys of victims in two states to assess their experiences with law enforcement services.
