Conference on Crimes Against Women

Call Directions Website

The only conference that addresses ALL crimes against women with a multidisciplinary focus that encourages community response.

The Conference on Crimes Against Women (CCAW) is the national clearinghouse of best practices for law enforcement, prosecuting attorneys, advocates, medical professionals, emergency telecommunicators, probation and parole officers and others who work in the area of crimes against women. Recognizing that these crimes are unique in nature, CCAW provides the most up-to-date, relevant, and effective training and techniques that exist to battle this epidemic.

A victim may not disclose abuse when the abuser is in the room, or within earshot.
Whether you’re on scene or in your office, create a safe moment to talk:

- Separate the parties
- Ask privately and listen without judgment
- Connect them with an advocate before you leave

Victims can reach the National Domestic Violence Hotline 24/7 at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233).

Faith leaders can be an important source of support for people experiencing abuse. However, they may not always have comprehensive training to recognize and respond to domestic violence.

Join us for an upcoming training on this topic, led by Rev. Dr. Geneece Goertzen, Adjunct Professor and Author at Baylor University. Participants will explore spiritual abuse, barriers that can keep survivors from seeking help, and how faith leaders and helping professionals can work together to strengthen support and safety for survivors and their children.

Holiday weekends like Halloween bring parties, alcohol, and often more reports of sexual assault. For responders this weekend:

- A delayed or fragmented account is a common trauma response, not a sign of deception.
- Alcohol or drug use doesn’t make an assault less serious, or a victim less credible.
- Time matters: connect victims quickly with a medical forensic exam and an advocate.

And for everyone: a costume is never consent.

“The absence of a verbal disclosure does not mean the absence of evidence.”

In our latest blog, Detective Kimberly Korrin (Ret.) covers what often gets missed at DV scenes:

📌 Broken phones and damaged property
📌 Texts showing threats or attempts to leave
📌 Neighbors who heard threats, even if they didn’t see the assault
📌 The 911 caller

For officers: how thoroughly you investigate shouldn’t depend on whether the victim takes part. For prosecutors: that evidence can help prove the case when the victim can’t or won’t testify.

Gender-based violence situations can be dangerous and unpredictable for the first responders who are often first to address them. Preparation and a thoughtful response can help protect everyone involved.

On , we honor the first responders who serve and protect their communities, and remember those who lost their lives in the line of duty. We’re grateful for their service and mindful of the sacrifices they and their families make.

Our latest blog takes a closer look at the risks first responders may face when responding to gender-based violence: https://bit.ly/4zSTM9u

Domestic violence isn't always visible. Financial, digital, emotional, and spiritual abuse are harder to spot on a call, but they often show the pattern of control behind the incident.

Documenting them helps prosecutors understand risk and helps advocates plan for safety.

Genesis Women's Shelter & Support explains each type: https://bit.ly/46xNSyW

Abuse can take many forms but is ultimately a pattern of controlling and/or violent behavior intentionally meant to exert power or control over another individual. Domestic abuse can involve finances, technology, sexual acts, emotional manipulation and other tactics.
