It thoroughly examines what lessons can be drawn from the volumes of accumulated research and evaluation literature in Canada, and elsewhere, and provides a complete picture of how far Canada has come in our response to crimes of violence against women, where our investments have taken us, and where we are heading.

Brenda Anderson Since 1980, more than 520 Aboriginal women have been reported missing or murdered in Canada. From 1993-2003, 370 women were murdered in Ciudad Juarez and Chihuahua, Mexico.

Responding to the profound tragedy inherent in these statistics, more than 300 women and men gathered in August 2008 at a conference entitled Missing Women: Decolonization, Third Wave Feminisms, and Indigenous People of Canada and Mexico. Torn from Our Midst includes images and voices from the conference , together with additional reflections, both academic personal, on the effects of violence and the possibilities for healing. 2009

Court Responses to Batterer Program Noncompliance: A National Perspective

Court Responses to Batterer Program Non-Compliance |
March 2007.
Melissa Labriola, Michael Rempel, Chris S. O'Sullivan, Phyllis B. Frank, Jim McDowell, and Rachel Finkelstein.
A study conducted in collaboration with VCS Inc. that examines how criminal courts respond when domestic violence offenders are noncompliant with a court mandate to a batterer program. The study, based on a national survey of courts, batterer programs, and victim assistance agencies in all 50 states, detected overwhelming support for the goal of "accountability" in theory but a gap between theory and practice, as most courts indicated that they do not always or often impose sanctions when offenders are noncompliant with the batterer program mandate.
