The goal of this research project was to enhance the understanding of Asian battered women's experiences in seeking help from the criminal justice system (CJS) and other (non-CJS) programs and develop recommendations for system responses to intimate partner violence (IPV) in Asian communities. The project focused on selected Asian ethnic groups -- Filipina, Indian and Pakistani and addressed the following research questions:
- When do Asian battered women experience various types of IPV over their life course?
- When do Asian battered women come into contact with CJS and non-CJS agencies?
- What kinds of responses do Asian battered women receive from CJS and non-CJS agencies?
- What responses do Asian battered women perceive as helpful?
- What are the barriers to contacting CJS agencies?
- What suggestions do Asian battered women have for improving CJS responses to IPV in Asian communities?
