During the past 20 years a network of services, including official state agencies and statewide grassroots domestic violence coalitions, has developed across the country to meet the problem of woman abuse. Although state agencies have gained access to diverse federal funds; have developed additional, more-creative ways to fund programs; and have established regulatory mechanisms to ensure quality of services, respondents agree that the existing services would not have been developed without the committed energy and effective lobbying of grassroots coalitions. However, these coalitions are now struggling with internal conflicts and are concerned that emerging social problems will eclipse them and capture the scant funds available. Without these coalitions, the network of social services may return the problem of woman abuse to the private arena of family life, where it is treated by therapy. This article surveys both state agencies and coalitions and discusses implications for services to abused women.
在过去20年里，一个包括官方国家机构和全州范围内基层家庭暴力联盟在内的服务网络在全国范围内发展起来，以应对妇女受虐问题。尽管国家机构已经获得了各种联邦资金；开发了更多创新的项目资助方式；并建立了监管机制以确保服务质量，但受访者一致认为，如果没有基层联盟的坚定努力和有效的游说，现有的服务是不可能发展起来的。然而，这些联盟目前正面临内部冲突，并且担心新出现的社会问题会使它们黯然失色，并耗尽现有的微薄资金。没有这些联盟，社会服务网络可能会将妇女受虐问题重新推回到家庭生活的私人领域，在那里该问题只能通过治疗来解决。本文对国家机构和联盟进行了调查，并讨论了对受虐妇女服务的影响。
