History

Historical Context

In 1995 New York City enacted the Domestic Violence Prevention Act, requiring the NYPD to spend $1.2 million annually on a response. The law echoed the 1994 Violence Against Women Act, a product of the 1993 UN World Conference on Human Rights that framed domestic abuse as a human-rights issue. Police use the Crime Stoppers tip line to investigate Angel Carrasco’s assault.
