dc.description.abstract: The Measuring Success in the Criminal Justice System’s Response to Domestic/Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalkingpilot project was commissioned by the U.S. Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) to research, pilot, evaluate, and recommend outcome measures that OVW grantees can use to measure the success of law enforcement’s (LE) response to domestic/dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking (VAWA crimes). A full description of that project, including the conceptual framework that guides the work, can be found in the final Conceptual Framework report.This workbook contains the indicators and metrics that were tested and evaluated for recommendation to OVW. It includes both metrics that were ultimately recommended and not recommended at this time. The metrics that are not recommended at this time are not inherently poor metrics, but rather are not recommended due to a variety of factors, ranging from lack of access to the data, lack of tools, resources, and/or infrastructure to collent and report. Given the unique and locally-focused efforts and activities of OVW-funded grantees, we hope this list of indicators and metrics inspires grantees and helps them determine the most accurate and feasible metrics they can collect to demonstrate the impact of their work.
