Согласно Роберту Д. Эвансу, представляющему Американскую ассоциацию адвокатов на слушаниях в Конгрессе по VAWA в 2005 году, "программы, финансируемые VAWA, включая программы гражданской правовой помощи и гранты STOP, улучшили и оказали помощь в преследовании дел о домашнем насилии, сексуальных домогательствах и жестоком обращении с детьми; обеспечили необходимую подготовку и поддержку сотрудников правоохранительных органов; и увеличили объем гражданской правовой помощи жертвам домашнего насилия, особенно в вопросах охранных ордеров и семейного права". На гранты STOP (Службы, обучение, сотрудники полиции, прокуроры) было выделено 175 миллионов долларов, а дополнительно 50 миллионов долларов – на гранты на временное жилье. Обзор политики уголовного правосудия по этой программе и ее эффективности показал, что увеличение вовлеченности ведомств в жизнь общества приводит к большей вероятности успеха программ.

Помимо этих специально упомянутых программ грантов, законопроект Сената, принявший Закон о борьбе с насилием в отношении женщин, также создал Национальную горячую линию по борьбе с домашним насилием и предоставил гранты на обучение полиции и другое дополнительное обучение в судебной системе. В законопроекте также была пересмотрена действующая правовая база для преследования домашнего насилия, сексуального насилия и преследования, а также предусмотрено создание новых законов для устранения пробелов в юрисдикции. По данным некоммерческой организации Break the Cycle, ориентация многих из этих грантов на сообщество сделала законодательство влиятельным в улучшении услуг, защиты интересов и реагирования со стороны правоохранительных органов по всей стране. Управление по борьбе с насилием в отношении женщин приняло эту критику к сведению и в настоящее время работает над разработкой новых стратегий для улучшения в этих областях. Другие критики утверждают, что Закон о борьбе с насилием в отношении женщин не выделяет достаточно ресурсов мужчинам, страдающим от домашнего насилия. Существуют утверждения о том, что Управление по борьбе с насилием в отношении женщин изображает женщин как единственных жертв домашнего насилия, насилия в отношениях, сексуального насилия и преследования, в то время как мужчины являются исключительно преступниками. CDC сообщает, что 13,8% мужчин сообщали о случаях насилия, но поддерживающие организации Закона о борьбе с насилием в отношении женщин, такие как NNEDV, утверждают, что эта цифра фактически увеличилась до 37%. Другие, в том числе Конни Морелла из Национального совета еврейских женщин, заявили, что Закон о борьбе с насилием в отношении женщин не выделяет достаточно средств или оказывает помощь иммигранткам, которые, по их словам, часто не могут получить государственную или федеральную помощь из-за своего статуса. Concerned Women for America считают, что Управление по борьбе с насилием в отношении женщин должно больше делать для продвижения положительного имиджа брака и здоровых отношений и сосредоточиться на реальных преступлениях, связанных с насилием, вместо того, чтобы использовать Закон о борьбе с насилием в отношении женщин для расширения значения домашнего насилия до более тривиальных случаев и сокращения денежного финансирования и судебной помощи для "реальных" жертв. В настоящее время определение домашнего насилия Управлением по борьбе с насилием в отношении женщин охватывает все формы насилия, включая эмоциональное, экономическое, психологическое, физическое и сексуальное. Пересмотр Закона о борьбе с насилием в отношении женщин 28 февраля 2013 года был достигнут, несмотря на некоторые серьезные разногласия в отношении новых положений Закона, которые включают ЛГБТ-сообщество, коренные племена и лиц без документов. Двадцать два члена Палаты представителей США выступили против пересмотра из-за дополнительных положений, защищающих эти меньшинства. Однако, по данным Центров по контролю и профилактике заболеваний, партнеры в однополых отношениях сообщают, что они сталкивались с подобными...
Besides these specifically mentioned grant programs, the Senate bill that enacted the Violence Against Women Act also created National Domestic Violence Hotline and provided grants for police training and other additional training in the judicial system. The bill also reassessed current laws on prosecuting domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking and provided for the creation of new laws to address gaps in jurisdiction. According to the non profit organization Break the Cycle, the community focus of many of these grants has made the legislation influential in improving services, advocacy, and responses by criminal justice across the country. The Office on Violence Against Women has taken this criticism under consideration, and is currently in the process of finding new strategies to improve in these areas. Other critics postulate that the VAWA does not allocate enough resources to men who suffer from domestic violence. There are claims that the Office on Violence Against Women portrays women as the only victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, while men are solely perpetrators of these crimes. The CDC offers that 13.8% of males have reported abuse, but supporting organizations of the Violence Against Women Act, such as the NNEDV, posit that that number has actually increased up to 37%. Others, including Connie Morella for the National Council of Jewish Women, have said that the Violence Against Women Act does not allocate enough funds or provide assistance to immigrant women, who they say often cannot receive state or federal assistance because of their status. Concerned Women for America believe that the Office on Violence Against Women should do more to promote a better image of marriage and healthy relationships and focus on real abuse crimes, instead of using the VAWA to expand the meaning of domestic violence to more trivial cases and leaving less monetary funding and judiciary assistance for the 'real' victims. At present, the Office on Violence Against Women's definition of domestic violence encompasses all forms of abuse, including those of an emotional, economic, psychological, physical and sexual nature. The reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act on February 28, 2013 was achieved despite some significant controversy in regards to the new provisions of the Act that include the LGBT community, Native Tribes, and undocumented immigrants. Twenty two members of the U. S. House of representatives opposed the reauthorization because of the additional provision that protects those minority communities. However, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, partners in homosexual relationships say that they have encountered similar or greater levels of domestic violence in their lifetime than their straight counterparts. The 2013 re authorization of the Violence Against Women Act proved to be more challenging than its last re authorization in 2005, but the achieved changes focus mostly in who the Violence Against Women Act will now protect and how much money the Act allocates for helping those additional groups.
Законы об обязательном аресте
В то время как Конгресс готовился к повторной авторизации Закона о насилии в отношении женщин в 2013 году, журнал Time опубликовал статью, в которой утверждалось, что "[д]омашнее насилие по-прежнему остается серьезно недоуведомляемым преступлением, и некоторые критики утверждают, что политика обязательных арестов усугубила эту проблему". Эта политика стимулировала правоохранительные органы проводить аресты и продвигать дела о домашнем насилии без согласия жертв. При пересмотре и повторной авторизации Закона о насилии в отношении женщин в 2000 году Конгресс изменил формулировку с "поощрения обязательных арестов" на "поощрение арестов", что подразумевает арест на основании достаточных оснований.
While Congress was preparing to reauthorize Violence Against Women Act in 2013, Time published an article arguing that "[d]omestic violence is still a severely under reported crime and some critics say mandatory arrest policies have exacerbated this problem." These policies encouraged law enforcement to make arrests and move forward with domestic violence cases without the cooperation of victims. While reviewing and reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act in 2000, Congress changed from "encourage mandatory arrest" policies to "encourage arrest" policies instead, which focus on arresting based on probable cause.
