Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)

Question

1.Poor recognition and treatment in the criminal justice system of women who had suffered sexual abuse and domestic violence was a direct result of a lack of women advocates in assisting these women.
2.Even though Mary Ellen Wilson’s child abuse case was a high-profile case, just before the turn of the 20th century, there were approximately 300 non-governmental child protection agencies throughout the United States to protect children from abuse and cruelty by parents and/or guardians.
3.In the 1970s, the criminal justice system began to notice that the biggest reason for prosecution failure was the loss of cooperative witnesses—victims—and a system that was indifferent to their most basic needs. This led to the funding and piloting of three victim/witness programs in district attorney’s offices that were designed to provide better notification about their cases and separate waiting areas in court and to encourage participation.
4.Victim assistance organizations supported and provided resources for women of domestic violence, child protection, and families/loved ones of homicide victims all about the same time to ensure there were no isolated victim groups and all organizations provided services that were readily available to the victims.
5.The Violence Against Women Act was established in 1994 and was enacted as part of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, acknowledging domestic violence and sexual assault crimes, along with providing federal resources to encourage community-coordinated responses to combating violence against women.
