mission
About the Center Mission The Stalking Resource Center is a program of the National Center for Victims of Crime. Launched in July 2000, with initial funding from the Violence Against Women Office of the U.S. Department of Justice, our dual mission is to raise national awareness of stalking and to encourage the development and implementation of multidisciplinary responses to stalking in local communities across the country. Who We Serve Violence Against Women Office grantees; criminal and civil justice system practitioners; community based agencies; media representatives; stalking victims; and the general public. Our Services The Stalking Resource Center consists of five components: a Peer-to-Peer Exchange Program, Training, an Information Clearinghouse, a Practitioners' Network, and a Website. Peer-to-Peer Exchange Program The goal of this program is to facilitate ongoing partnerships between experts and communities that are developing multidisciplinary responses to stalking. Our staff, aided by a team of expert practitioners, are available to participate in on-site problem solving consultations. The peer-to-peer exchange program matches experts with technical assistance requests, typically received from law enforcement, prosecutors, and community- and system-based service providers. Targeted support is offered for both short-term and long-term challenges. If you are a VAWA grantee, contact us to discuss your needs. Training Stalking Resource Center staff are available to participate in training events sponsored by practitioners on the local, state, and national level.
