COORDINATED COMMUNITY RESPONSES (CCRs)
CCRs are coordinating councils or teams that include diverse sectors of the community who respond to domestic violence. They share the goals of ensuring victim safety and of holding batterers accountable by coordinating services and response. Increasingly and with the advent of the DELTA project, CCRs are placing greater emphasis on preventing the violence from occurring in the first place (primary prevention) rather than responding to it after it already has happened (intervention).
