This study was done to gain more knowledge about ways that STOP funds are being used to improve services to women in historically underserved communities (STOP grants are provided to assist units of local government to develop and strengthen effective law enforcement and prosecution strategies to combat violent crimes against women). Through interviews with sub-grantees, the study obtained information about the groups served, the services provided , and their perceptions about the impact of their projects. Finally the report examined the strategies that sub-grantees believe have been most successful in reaching out to women in underserved communities.
