OFFICE OF THE AG PUBLICATIONS CONTACT US SEARCH ... LINKS TO STATE SITES Attorney General Lockyer's Task Force on Domestic Violence Holds First Hearing in San Diego January 21, 2004 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (SAN DIEGO) – Attorney General Bill Lockyer's Task Force on Local Criminal Justice Response to Domestic Violence today held its first regional hearing in San Diego. The task force will meet throughout the state to study local policies and practices, identify those that work well and how they can improve their efforts to protect and prevent family violence. "California leads the nation in its efforts to stop the cycle of domestic violence, yet we still have an epidemic," Lockyer said. "Despite greater awareness and tougher laws, in 2002, more than 150 murders were committed as a result of intimate partner violence and local law enforcement agencies received close to 200,000 domestic violence-related calls for assistance. This task force will build on practices that work, and help fix those that don't." During the hearings, testimony and public comments will be taken on four issues: How domestic violence restraining orders are obtained and enforced; how law enforcement agencies respond to mandated reports of domestic violence by health care practitioners; how courts, probation and batterer intervention programs hold batterers accountable; and how prosecutors' offices handle misdemeanor domestic violence cases.

Alaska State Troopers Fire Prevention Statewide Services Admin Services FUNDING SOURCES Council on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Family Violence Prevention Services Act The Family Violence Prevention Services Act provides federal funding to all states. This funding is used to fund domestic violence programs throughout Alaska. All programs receiving grants provide shelter and related assistance to victims of domestic violence and their children. All of these programs operate shelter facilities which are staffed around the clock and provide a full spectrum of services, including food and immediate shelter, crisis intervention, counseling and medical/legal/personal advocacy. Victims of Crime Act The Victims of Crime Act of 1984 ( VOCA ) authorizes financial compensation for victims of crime and financial support for state and local agencies that provide services to crime victims. This fund is a U.S. Treasury account generated entirely by the fines and penalties levied against criminals convicted of federal crimes. As such, the amount available in this fund can vary greatly from year to year. To assist in planning for these variances, the Council spreads the grant amount over a period of three years. This provides for a more stable continuation of funding for programs. The Council awards the majority of this funding directly to programs that provide services to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and other violent crimes. In addition to funding programs, a portion of this grant will be used to fund a Victim Services Coordinator position with the Department of Corrections.

Funding Intimate Partner Violence: A Nation-Wide Crisis A National Violence Against Women Survey (1995-1996) of 8000 men and 8000 women found that 52% of surveyed women were physically assaulted as a child by an adult caretaker and/or as an adult by any type of perpetrator. 1.9% of surveyed women reported physical assault in the last 12 months. Female victims averaged 3.1 assaults per year. Rural Domestic Violence: A Context Evidence-based studies of rural women who have experienced domestic violence are scarce. As the national surveys illustrate, domestic violence is a critical issue in the United States. These surveys, however, typically do not entirely capture the prevalence of violent incidences. Family violence is often underreported, particularly in rural areas where there is less privacy and anonymity for domestic violence survivors. In fact, the challenges and occurrences experienced by survivors of domestic violence are likely exacerbated by residence in a rural community. Challenges experienced by rural survivors of domestic and family violence are described below.

Under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, they will be expected to work and be subject to the state time limits unless excepted. However, many of these recipients will face significant problems in finding or keeping work until this violence and its after effects are addressed. The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) of 1996 provides a hardship exception and the Family Violence Option allows states to excempt up to 20% of the state’s caseload from the 60-month time limit in receiving benefits. The hardship exception includes those who are "battered or subjected to extreme cruelty." TANF law also gives a state the option to certify that it has established and is enforcing standards to screen and identify recipients with a history of domestic violence, to refer them to counseling and supportive services, and to waive some program requirements, such as time limits (subject to the 20% limit on exemptions from the federal five-year time limit), in cases where the requirements would make it harder for them to escape domestic violence or would unfairly penalize women who are victims of domestic violence or those at risk of further violence.

Search Tips Send or Print this page Background: H.R. 2671, the Clear Law Enforcement for Criminal Alien Removal (CLEAR) Act November 21, 2003 On July 9, 2003, Representatives Charlie Norwood (R-Ga.), Melissa Hart (R-Pa.) and Allen Boyd (D-Fla.) introduced H.R. 2671, the Clear Law Enforcement for Criminal Alien Removal Act of 2003. The bill, which has 111 co-sponsors in the House of Representatives, would require state and local police agencies to take on the role of immigration agents, enforcing complex federal immigration laws. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), is expected to introduce the Senate counterpart in the near future. Advocates for immigrant survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, trafficking and other crimes committed against immigrant victims in the U.S. have come out in opposition to the bill. More than 100 organizations, including the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, have informed Congress that the CLEAR Act would endanger already vulnerable immigrant populations, particularly immigrant victims of domestic violence, rape and sexual assault, and their children. Such an act would raise fears of deportation for many women, and as a result, would create a situation in which immigrant women would face greater barriers in reporting domestic violence. Immigrant women who are victims of violence are particularly vulnerable, as are their children. Congress should be searching for ways to help immigrant women and their children rather than stripping them of protections they need.

FAMILY VIOLENCE PREVENTION SERVICES This program helps stop family violence through its unique family intervention approach. Family Violence Prevention Services (FVPS) provides effective prevention and treatment services to families where aggression or violence is a problem. Separate counseling groups for men, women, and children meet weekly for 21 weeks. All groups are led by experienced, professional counselors. This approach is based on William Glasser's Reality Therapy. It emphasizes choice, consequences, and responsibility. Each year, less than 5% of the court ordered clients who complete the FVPS counseling program return to court on domestic violence charges. This low recidivism rate is characteristic of the program over the nearly two decades it has been in operation. FVPS is viewed by law enforcement agencies and the courts as a effective alternative sentencing program. The program has helped relieve overcrowding in the jails and keep men and women at home, on the job, continuing to do their part to support their families while they get the help that they need. Table of Contents: Program Description Philosophy Services Need for Program ...
