      	Letter from U.S. Senators Requesting $75 Million Increase for LSC in FY 2003 Fourteen senators are urging leaders of the Senate Appropriations Committee to increase LSC’s funding by $45 million for FY 2002, which would bring the annual federal investment in civil legal services to $375 million. All 12 Democratic members of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee (HELP) signed the letter, as did Senators Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and Ron Wyden (D-OR).

      	Explaining the Recent Decline in Domestic Violence The goal of this paper is to ascertain the source of the decline in intimate partner abuse from 1993 to 1998 cited in a recent report by the Bureau of Justice Statistics. We find three significant factors in explaining the decline: (1) the increased provision of legal services for victims of intimate partner abuse, (2) improved educational and economic status for women, and (3) demographic trends including the aging of the population and an increase in racial diversity. Specifically, US women have become older, more educated, richer, and more likely to belong to a minority race. In addition, the provision of legal services has exploded in the past decade. All of these factors are significant determinants of abuse and are trending in the right direction to explain the reduced incidence of domestic violence in the US. [ 01/13/03  |  more info ]
