From the U.S. Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women:
The Violence Against Women Act of 1994 (VAWA), Pub. L. No.106-386, requires that “The Attorney General shall submit to Congress an annual report, beginning one year after the date of enactment of the Act that provides information concerning the incidence of stalking and domestic violence, and evaluates the effectiveness of antistalking efforts and legislation.”
The report on Stalking and Domestic Violence, 2005 Through 2006, is a series of stalking reports submitted to Congress since the enactment of VAWA.
It provides an overview of a collaborative effort between the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) and the Bureau “of Justice Statistics (BJS) to expand our understanding of the crime of stalking through the development of a statistical supplement to the National Crime Victimization Survey on the crime of stalking.” In addition the report provides a summary of the :training and outreach efforts undertaken by the OVW-funded Stalking Resource Center, a program of the National Center for Victims of Crime.” |
