Shelter and Service Receipt for Victims of Domestic Violence in Illinois
Grossman, Susan F.; Lundy, Marta; George, Christine C.; Crabtree-Nelson, Sonya
Journal of Interpersonal Violence, v25 n11 p2077-2093 Nov 2010
There is little empirical research about the services victims of violence in shelters receive and when, yet such information would increase our understanding of their unmet service needs especially after they leave shelter. This article utilizes data from a randomly selected sample of individuals in shelter to examine their service trajectories. Results indicate that most individuals receive service while in shelter. Individual counseling is likely to continue after shelter, but group counseling, employment, and educational assistance tend to end once shelter is over. The policy and practice implications of these results are discussed. (Contains 3 notes and 4 tables.)
