Notes:	Discusses the growth of victim advocacy within and outside criminal justice responses to domestic violence and the concept of empowerment at the individual and institutional level, before outlining some of the types of disempowerment battered women experience and the sources of this disempowerment, such as mandatory arrest policies and forced testimony. On the basis of the authors’ own and existing research, the article identifies some key practice issues that must be addressed in the context of victim advocacy and examines some of the broader contextual factors that contribute to the types and sources of victim disempowerment. Written from a US perspective.
