TY - JOUR PY - 2000// TI - A Survey of Domestic Violence Organizations on the World Wide Web JO - Journal of technology in human services A1 - Finn, Jerry SP - 83 EP - 83 VL - 17 IS - 1 N2 - This paper presents the results of an exploratory study of one hundred sixty-six domestic violence organizations that use the World Wide Web. Domestic violence agencies primarily used the Web to promote agency visibility and provide community education, and to a lesser extent for advocacy, direct services, and securing resources. Agency satisfaction with their Website is generally high, although more than one-third of agencies reported problems. Related issues discussed include Web-based sources of client victimization, agency legal liability, agency vulnerability to online disruption, the need to create access for low-income clients, and evaluation of Web services.
