Criminal and Civil Justice Office
The BWJP Criminal and Civil Justice Office (merged on October 1, 2006) focuses on how effective intervention requires inter-agency coordination and policy development that guides individual practitioners in the use of arrest, prosecution, sentencing, victim safeguards, and batterers' intervention programs. The office also handles information on advocacy for victims of domestic violence by military personnel. The office focuses on civil justice issues by providing important leadership aimed at enhancing justice for battered women and their children in the civil legal arena by improving battered women's access to civil justice options and quality legal representation in civil court processes.
