Across our country, domestic violence traumatizes victims, endangers children, harms families, and threatens communities. According to the most recent report from the Department of Justice, there were almost 700,000 incidents of domestic violence in 2001. ... Children who witness to domestic violence too often grow up use violence on others, creating a cycle of violence that must be stopped. In some communities across our country, law enforcement, medical, and legal services for domestic violence victims are poor, requiring victims to travel to several different places to receive the help and treatment they need. Service centers for domestic violence victims and their dependents enable health and justice professionals to better serve those in need.
