This evaluation reports findings from an Urban Institute telephone survey of STOP projects identified by their state coordinators as developing a community-wide coordinated response to combat violence against women. In particular, the survey explored and identified the types of STOP-funded projects with this goal, the permanence of changes resulting from these funds, gaps in service, and the impact STOP funding has had on services for women. The STOP grants are given to assist states and units of local government to develop and strengthen effective law enforcement and prosecution strategies to combat violent crimes against women, and to develop and strengthen victim services in cases involving violent crimes against women.
The nonpartisan Urban Institute publishes studies, reports, and books on timely topics worthy of public consideration. The views expressed are those of the authors and should not be attributed to the Urban Institute, its trustees, or its funders.
