Research & Evaluation on Sexual Violence, Stalking and Teen Dating Violence
The National Institute for Justice seeks proposals for research and evaluation on issues relating to sexual violence, stalking, and teen dating violence. The issue areas for sexual violence research are the criminal justice response to particular under-served populations, the development and testing of instruments with diverse populations, and testing of innovative interventions aimed at improving initial criminal justice responses to victims of sexual violence. Priority areas for research on stalking are evaluating offender interventions specific to stalking behavior by current or former intimate partners, and law enforcement and prosecutorial actions regarding stalking. In the area of teen dating violence (i.e., adolescent relationship abuse), applications are sought for additional waves of data for existing longitudinal projects.
