Criminal protection orders are a critical tool to enhance the safety and protection of victims of domestic violence (DV). However, limited research exists to elucidate the process and outcomes of these orders. The purposes of the study were to (a) elucidate the process of criminal orders as a critical strategy to reduce domestic violence, (b) increase knowledge about how criminal orders influence the daily lives of women, and children, and how they are associated with offender behavior, (c) disseminate findings to practitioners, policy makers, and academics to inform practice, policy, and future research; and (d) document in detail the relevant accounts of the collaboration to inform best practices for collaborations that lead to better policy, practice, and research. The sample is comprised of 298 female victims of DV by a male, intimate partner. Participants were recruited from two geographical area courthouses in an urban and a suburban New England community.

This is a secondary data analysis of the 2010 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (ICPSR 36140). The National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS) includes lifetime and past-year measures of physical violence by intimate partners and sexual violence. This secondary data analysis focused on eight measures of physical violence by intimate partners and eight measures of sexual violence.

The collection contains 2 SPSS data files: lifetime-data.sav (n=16,507; 22 variables), which measures occurrences of physical and sexual violence over the respondent's lifetime, and pastyr-data.sav (n=4,150; 22 variables), which measure occurrences of physical and sexual violence over the past year. A syntax file is included in the user guide.

The National Survey of Teen Relationships and Intimate Violence (STRiV) examines the changing nature of adolescent dating relationships, particularly those marked by adolescent relationship abuse (ARA). More specifically, this study was designed to produce nationally representative estimates of the prevalence of multiple forms of ARA among youth (ages 10-18), to document the characteristics of abusive relationships during adolescence, to assess ARA risk factors, and to situate these estimates within the environment of adolescents' key social relationships and communications.

STRiV includes individual data from a nationally representative sample of households with at least one resident youth. Baseline and follow-up surveys were completed using a secure web survey with toll-free telephone and online help available.

This study examined whether a web-based program that talks about communication and feelings with families reduces dating violence among middle-school boys.

The final intervention (STRONG), used by parents and adolescents together, was based on the empirical literature linking emotion regulation deficits to violent behavior as well as studies showing that parental involvement is crucial to offset dating violence risk.
