The Violence Against Women Act of 1994 (VAWA) mandated a number of research efforts that stimulated a dramatic enhancement to violence against women research supported by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ). This article documents and provides a perspective on key components in the history, development, and accomplishments of the Violence Against Women (VAW) research and evaluation program of NIJ. The article is comprised of four key parts: (a) progress of the research program and how leadership, planning, and collaboration were the catalysts in instituting the program; (b) significant research issues confronted and managed, including measurement, evaluation rigor, and gender symmetry; (c) critical conflicts in the field, such as calls for greater attention to sexual assault and violence against minorities as well as resistance to research on perpetrators and male victims; and (d) possible research directions for the future and a concluding comment.
1994 年的《暴力侵害妇女法》（VAWA）要求进行多项研究工作，这些工作刺激了国家司法研究所（NIJ）支持的针对妇女的暴力行为研究的大幅增加。本文记录并提供了 NIJ 针对妇女的暴力（VAW）研究和评估计划的历史，发展和成就的主要内容。本文由四个关键部分组成：（a）研究计划的进展情况，以及领导，计划和协作如何成为实施该计划的催化剂；（b）面临和管理的重大研究问题，包括度量，评估严格性和性别对称性；（c）该领域的关键冲突，例如呼吁更多关注性侵犯和对少数民族的暴力行为，以及对针对犯罪者和男性受害者的研究的抵制；以及（d）未来可能的研究方向和结束语。
