BWJP Services
As the national resource center that addresses all areas of law related to domestic violence, we provide technical assistance and training to a variety of professionals: advocates, civil attorneys, judges and related court personnel, law enforcement officers, prosecutors, probation officers, batterers intervention program staff, defense attorneys, and policymakers; and to victims of domestic violence, including incarcerated battered women, and their families and friends. BWJP also responds to requests from tribal and military personnel who fulfill equivalent positions in their respective responses to domestic violence.
Each office of BWJP maintains a specialized, up-to-date library of relevant resources, provides technical assistance and onsite consultations (please see Customized Training page), and conducts training for communities around the country. We focus on communicating best practices and policies to professionals in the field and to the public. We do not provide direct legal representation.
BWJP is an affiliated member of the Domestic Violence Resource Network, a group of national resource centers funded by DHHS and other support since 1993. BWJP is also a designated technical assistance provider for the Office on Violence Against Women, U.S. Department of Justice. |
