Conference on Crimes Against Women

What Conference on Crimes Against Women does

Conference on Crimes Against Women (CCAW) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 2005 by Jan Langbein, CEO of Genesis Women's Shelter & Support, in partnership with the Dallas Police Department. Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, CCAW produces an annual in-person conference that convenes 3,000+ professionals across law enforcement, prosecution, victim advocacy, healthcare (including SANE/forensic nursing), campus safety, child welfare, faith-based services, courts, tribal communities, and offender accountability programs. The flagship event offers more than 250 workshops, case studies, and hands-on computer labs taught by local and national experts, with the organization positioning itself as the only U.S. conference covering all forms of violence against women through a multidisciplinary coordinated community response model.

The organization's product portfolio has expanded beyond the annual conference into a year-round training ecosystem. This includes the National Training Center on Crimes Against Women (NTC), which provides specialized training; the Institute for Coordinated Community Response (ICCR), a rural-focused yearly cohort program for community-based domestic violence response; and the Podcast on Crimes Against Women (PCAW), launched in 2020. Strategic partnerships with SPARC, EndTAB, the University of Texas Institute of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault, and Genesis Women's Shelter & Support extend the content pipeline, including free on-demand training modules.

Revenue is generated primarily through conference registration fees, priced at $675 for full-price (March through mid-May) and $750 for late registration, with group discounts of $25 per attendee for parties of five or more. Ancillary revenue is generated through sponsorships, exhibitor booths, scholarships, and likely donations typical of a 501(c)(3). The organization operates with a small team (1-10 employees) and uses the Cvent platform for registration. CCAW has scheduled its 22nd Annual Conference for May 24-27, 2027, with all conferences to date held in Dallas, demonstrating institutional continuity and a durable attendee base across 20+ consecutive years.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• National Sexual Assault Conference (NSAC): Hosted by the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, NSAC is a leading national conference on sexual violence response that competes for the same victim advocate, law enforcement, and prosecutor attendee base that CCAW serves, and is referenced by name in CCAW attendee feedback.
• International Association of Forensic Nurses (IAFN): IAFN provides national training and conferences for SANEs and forensic nurses—CCAW's healthcare/SANE/forensic nursing segment—and addresses overlapping content on medical-forensic response to violence against women.
• AEquitas: AEquitas is a nonprofit resource center that trains prosecutors on gender-based violence case strategies, directly overlapping CCAW's prosecutor/attorney segment on legal strategy, evidence, and trial practice in violence against women cases.
• National Organization for Victim Assistance (NOVA): NOVA runs an annual national conference providing training to victim advocates, crisis responders, and allied professionals—CCAW attendees comparing conferences cite NOVA as a competing option within the same victim-services training category.
• End Violence Against Women International (EVAWI): EVAWI operates the premier annual training conference on the forensic investigation of sexual violence, serving a substantially overlapping audience of law enforcement, SANEs, and prosecutors that CCAW trains. An attendee comparison vs. CCAW appears directly in CCAW's own testimonials.

Broad incumbents

• RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network): RAINN is the largest US anti-sexual-violence organization, operating the National Sexual Assault Hotline and providing training resources. It serves a broader public-facing mission but overlaps with CCAW's professional training audience on sexual assault response and victim services.
• National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV): NNEDV is a leading national voice on domestic violence that convenes practitioners through training, webinars, and policy work, overlapping with CCAW's domestic violence training and advocacy segments across a wider scope of programs.
• International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP): IACP runs the largest annual law enforcement conference in the US with sessions on violence against women and victim response, making it a broad-incumbent alternative training venue for CCAW's law enforcement attendee base.
• National Criminal Justice Training Center (NCJTC): NCJTC delivers large-scale multidisciplinary criminal justice training programs (including on violence against women and trafficking) to law enforcement and social services, overlapping with CCAW's first-responder training remit but across a much wider curriculum.

Others

• Genesis Women's Shelter & Support: Genesis is the founding partner of CCAW (via CEO Jan Langbein) and a major Dallas-based domestic violence service provider. As an ecosystem participant and shelter operator rather than a training conference organizer, it is an adjacent ally rather than a direct competitor.
