It was not until the passage of the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act and the Victims of Crime Act that Congress approved federal legislation to aid victims of domestic violence. The 1984 acts provided federal funding to help states provide shelters for domestic violence victims, education, research, and crime victim compensation.
