This study was designed to explore whether civil protection
orders were effective in providing safer environments for victims of
domestic violence and enhancing their opportunities for escaping
violent relationships. The researchers looked at the factors that
might influence civil protection orders, such as accessibility to the
court process, linkages to public and private services and sources of
support, and the criminal record of the victim's abuser, and then
examined how courts in three jurisdictions processed civil protection
orders. Wilmington, Delaware, Denver, Colorado, and the District of
Columbia were chosen as sites because of structural differences among
them that were believed to be linked to the effectiveness of civil
protection orders. Since these jurisdictions each had different court
processes and service models, the researchers expected that these
models would produce various results and that these variations might
hold implications for improving practices in other jurisdictions. Data
were collected through initial and follow-up interviews with women who
had filed civil protection orders. The effectiveness of the civil
protection orders was measured by the amount of improvement in the
quality of the women's lives after the order was in place, versus the
extent of problems created by the protection orders. Variables from
the survey of women include police involvement at the incident leading
to the protection order, the relationship of the petitioner and
respondent to the petition prior to the order, history of abuse, the
provisions asked for and granted in the order, if a permanent order
was not filed for by the petitioner, the reasons why, the court
experience, protective measures the petitioner undertook after the
order, and how the petitioner's life changed after the order. Case
file data were gathered on when the order was filed and issued,
contempt motions and hearings, stipulations of the order, and social
service referrals. Data on the arrest and conviction history of the
petition respondent were also collected.

The purpose of this study was to conduct content and process evaluations of current internet safety education (ISE) program materials and their use by law enforcement presenters and schools. The study was divided into four sub-projects. First, a systematic review or "meta-synthesis" was conducted to identify effective elements of prevention identified by the research across different youth problem areas such as drug abuse, sex education, smoking prevention, suicide, youth violence, and school failure. The process resulted in the development of a KEEP (Known Elements of Effective Prevention) Checklist. Second, a content analysis was conducted on four of the most well-developed and long-standing youth internet safety curricula: i-SAFE, iKeepSafe, Netsmartz, and Web Wise Kids. Third, a process evaluation was conducted to better understand how internet safety education programs are being implemented. The process evaluation was conducted via national surveys with three different groups of respondents: Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force commanders (N=43), ICAC Task Force presenters (N=91), and a sample of school professionals (N=139). Finally, researchers developed an internet safety education outcome survey focused on online harassment and digital citizenship. The intention for creating and piloting this survey was to provide the field with a research-based tool that can be used in future evaluation and program monitoring efforts.

These data are part of NACJD's Fast Track Release and are distributed as they there received from the data depositor. The files have been zipped by NACJD for release, but not checked or processed except of the removal of direct identifiers. Users should refer to the accompany readme file for a brief description of the files available with this collections and consult the investigator(s) if further information is needed.
The study used a multi-method approach including 1. a process evaluation in all eight sites involving yearly site visits from 2012 to 2014 with key stakeholder interviews, observations, and participant focus groups; 2. a prospective impact evaluation (in four sites) including interviews at release from jail or prison and at 12 months after release (as well as oral swab drug tests) with reentry court participants and a matched comparison group; 3. a recidivism impact evaluation (in seven sites) with a matched comparison group tracking recidivism for 2 years post reentry court entry and 4. a cost-benefit evaluation (in seven sites) involving a transactional and institutional cost analysis (TICA) approach. Final administrative data were collected through the end of 2016.
This collection includes four SPSS data files: "interview_archive2.sav" with 746 variables and 412 cases, "NESCCARC_Archive_File_3.sav" with 518 variables and 3,710 cases, "Interview Data1.sav" with 1,356 variables and 412 cases, "NESCCARC Admin Data File.sav" with 517 variables and 3,710 cases, and three SPSS syntax files: "Interview Syntax.sps", "archive_2-17.sps", and "NESCCARC Admin Data Syntax.sps".

This study was undertaken as a process evaluation of the
Grants to Combat Violence Against Women on Campus Program (Campus
Program), which was conducted by the Institute for Law and Justice
under a grant from the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) and funding
from the Violence Against Women Office (VAWO). The Campus Program was
comprised of 38 colleges or universities, which received funding in
1999 and 2000. Part 1 data consist of basic demographic information
about each campus and the violence against women programs and services
available at each site. Data for Part 2, collected from
questionnaires administered to grant project staff, documented
perceptions about the Campus Program project and participation and
collaboration from those involved in the partnership with each college
or university (i.e., non-profit, non-governmental victim service
providers).
