Data Project

Stay informed about the latest data assets and developments in Intimate Partner Harm and Violence, Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, and Sex Trafficking in Santa Cruz County.

"Aggregating and analyzing data from all our local survivor-serving partners will help shape our collective strategy for prevention of violence and enable us to work better together towards common goals for safe and healthy children and communities."

Why data for prevention?

The long-term goal of this group is to carefully and systematically develop a few standard measures for the County that can be used to understand and track issues changing through time and geography so that prevention and intervention can be placed when, where, and to whom they are needed most.
