| Title: | Multiple Perspectives on Battered Women and their Children Fleeing to the U.S. for Safety: A Study of the Hague Convention |
| Monitor: | Leora Rosen |
| This study improves the understanding of battered mothers involved in Hague Convention cases in the U.S. and uses this understanding to improve the legal system response to battered mothers and their children who, fleeing violent partners by crossing international borders, are subsequently charged under the Hague Convention. This study specifically addresses NIJ priorities for research to improve legal responses to intimate partner violence, particularly within diverse communities. | |
