The goals of the current study are (a) to understand the community and state context in which STOP(Services* Training* Officers* Prosecutors)-funded victim service (VS) programs operate, (b) to assess the degree to which receipt of STOP funding for VS programs and the degree of state-level STOP agency support for collaboration among community agencies have led to improved program services and community interaction, and (c) to assess the degree to which improved interaction between community agencies leads to improvements for VS programs. The results show that community interaction between VS programs and other community agencies can improve VS program services as reported by service providers. In addition, the higher the pre-STOP levels of activity around violence against women issues in communities, the more agencies can enhance their service system with STOP funding. Also, STOP funding has facilitated greater levels of change for communities whose pre-STOP attention to violence against women was lower.
(a)了解由“制止(服务培训官员*检察官)”资助的受害者服务(VS)项目所处的社区和州环境;(b)评估VS项目获得“制止”资金的程度以及州一级“制止”机构对社区机构间合作的支持程度,是否带来了项目服务和社区互动的改善;(c)评估社区机构间互动的改善在多大程度上促进了VS项目的改进。结果表明,服务提供者报告称,VS项目与其他社区机构之间的社区互动能够改善VS项目服务。此外,社区中围绕针对妇女暴力问题在获得“制止”资金前的活动水平越高,机构利用“制止”资金提升其服务系统的能力就越强。而且,对于那些在获得“制止”资金前对针对妇女暴力问题关注较少的社区,“制止”资金推动了更大程度的变革。
