Book excerpt: This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. Communities across the U.S. are focused on creating coordinated responses to intimate partner violence (IPV). Illinois took an innovative approach to facilitating the development of coordinated responses statewide. Beginning in 1990, the Admin. Office of the Illinois Courts spearheaded the creation of a network of Family Violence Coordinating Councils (FVCC) across 22 Judicial Circuits. This study examined the effectiveness of this coordinating council structure by investigating the extent to which FVCC have an impact on perceived shifts in stakeholder knowledge and relationships and institutionalized change and more distal systems change outcomes in the systems response to IPV (e.g., accessibility of orders of protection).
