About the Battered Women's Justice Project
The Battered Women's Justice Project is a nationally-recognized partnership and collaboration between the programs of the Domestic Abuse Intervention Programs (formerly Minnesota Program Development, Inc.) and the National Clearinghouse for the Defense of Battered Women.
BWJP is comprised of two offices: the Criminal and Civil Justice Office (coordinated by Domestic Abuse Intervention Programs) and the Defense Office (coordinated by the National Clearinghouse for the Defense of Battered Women). While both offices can provide training, technical assistance, and other resources on domestic violence related to civil court access and representation, the criminal justice response, and battered women's self-defense issues, each office has expertise and resources for their specific subject area. BWJP does not take on individual cases (see brochure for more details).
Services: BWJP's Criminal and Civil Justice Office offers training, technical assistance, and consultation on the most promising practices of the criminal and civil justice system in addressing domestic violence. Criminal and Civil Justice staff can provide information and analyses on effective policing, prosecuting, sentencing, and monitoring of domestic violence offenders, as well as protection orders, confidentiality issues, divorce and custody, and separation violence.
