TY - JOUR PY - 2003// TI - Domestic Violence and Crime Victim Compensation JO - Violence against women A1 - Danis, Fran S. SP - 374 EP - 390 VL - 9 IS - 3 N2 - An analysis of state-by-state data available on the U.S. Department of Justice Web site revealed that more than 50% of clients served through federally funded crime victim assistance programs in 1999 were domestic violence victims. However, only 13.4% of all crime victim compensation claims were awarded to victims of domestic violence. This disparity provides the basis for a comprehensive research agenda to learn what barriers prevent domestic abuse victims from submitting eligible claims.
