This report expands on the work of an earlier National Research
Council panel whose report, Understanding Violence Against Women,
was published in 1996. The report is based on the presentations and
deliberations of a workshop convened in January 2002, at the
request of Congress, to develop a detailed research agenda on
violence against women. While some of the research recommendations
in the earlier report have been funded and carried out, the
workshop demonstrated that important gaps remain. For example,
prevalence and incidence data are still inadequate to measure
trends or to reveal whether interventions being designed under
federal programs are, in fact, working. Among its primary
recommendations, the committee underscored the importance of
strengthening the data and research infrastructure in this area,
especially the need for better prevalence data and longitudinal
data to determine the causes of violent victimization of women and
the impact of interventions. Table of Contents Front Matter
