Title:National Evaluation of Grants to Combat Violent Crimes Against Women on Campus
Monitor:Anna Jordan
The Institute for Law and Justice (ILJ) will conduct a national evaluation of the VAW Campus Program under the Higher Education Amendments Act of 1998. ILJ's evaluation will inform policy and practice and address the impact of the VAW Campus Program on victim well-being and offender accountability.

ILJ will document the impact of the Campus Program in the context of system-wide and coordinated approaches to campus violence in 4 areas:

  1. the national state of policies and programs that address campus violence
  2. interactions between university administrators, campus police, local criminal justice agencies, and community victim services in order to develop a model of collaboration that advances a systematic approach to campus violence
  3. assess program effectiveness, highlighting successful campus strategies that other universities may choose to implement based on local needs
  4. identify projects judged worthy of future research and evaluation

The methodology will incorporate statistical analysis, training surveys, campus climate surveys, focus groups, and victim interviews.
