DELTA PROJECT BACKGROUND INFORMATION WHAT IS THE DELTA GRANT TRYING TO PREVENT? DELTA has been classified as an intimate partner violence project at the CDC emphasizing intimate partner domestic violence (IP-DV). IP-DV is where one partner in an intimate relationship uses physical violence, sexual violence, threats of physical or sexual violence, psychological/emotional abuse, stalking and/or economic abuse to establish a pattern of coercive power and control over his/her intimate partner. The DELTA project is not trying to prevent domestic violence that might be classified as: child abuse, due to organic brain disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, elder abuse by caretakers, adult children or other non-intimates, violence initiated in self-defense, violence initiated by drugs, one time violence incidents that are not supported by or result in a pattern of coercive control.

Watson, Executive Director Welcome to the OPDV web page. We have worked to make this a content-driven site to provide you with information and tools to address domestic violence in your community. As a state agency, we are here to serve you and we welcome your suggestions. Governor Pataki has declared zero tolerance of domestic violence as a standard for the state. We have made tremendous progress in improving the response of law enforcement and service providers. However, ending domestic violence will require a personal commitment to the same standard. This means changing old beliefs about sharing power in intimate relationships. While change is difficult, it is possible. We have seen this happen recently in issues regarding smoking in public places or drinking and driving. All it takes is commitment, information, courage, and time. The main ingredient is you. The individual decisions you make and the collective decisions made by the larger community have a profound impact. We at OPDV are here to support you in your decisions around the safety of women and children and equality in intimate relationships. We hope this web page will assist you in having the information needed to support change in your community.

Preventing Domestic Violence By Congressman Jerry Moran October 30, 2003 October has been National Domestic Violence Awareness Month - a time to look at progress being made and work that needs to be done to prevent and deal with domestic violence. In recent years, we have made significant strides in bringing attention to this issue and providing assistance to its victims, but more work needs to be done. During 2001, there were almost 700,000 incidents of domestic violence, nationwide. As we concentrate on issues concerning national security and the economy, we cannot forget the crimes disrupting homes and families in our communities. The fact is, despite all we’ve accomplished, domestic violence still occurs at alarming rates. Recent statistics show that domestic violence makes up 20 percent of all violent crime against women and accounts for nearly 33 percent of female murder victims. In Kansas, during 2001, the most recent year for which statistics are available, one domestic violence incident occurred every 26 minutes. Throughout the past year, I have visited with domestic violence program directors from across our state. They have shared their concerns that domestic violence shelters and support agencies are now seeing victims with even more complicated needs. During these tough economic times, it is more difficult to find jobs and affordable housing to make victims self-sufficient and give them the independence which would help them to escape abusive environments.

Take Action Email List Join IPGV Contact Us IPGV is a member of Iowa Shares Domestic Violence and Guns: A Lethal Combination Summary The Issue in Depth Proposed Legislation Illustrating the Issue Summary: Under federal law, a person is prohibited from possessing a firearm if he/she has been convicted of a domestic violence assault or is under a court restraining order for domestic violence. However, it is difficult for law enforcement to enforce the federal law on the local level because (1) local law enforcement officials lack authority to enforce federal law, and (2) federal law enforcement officials are not equipped to respond effectively to all of the cases that arise in Iowa. IPGV supports legislation to make it unlawful to possess a firearm under Iowa state law if a person is prohibited from possessing a firearm under federal law. This bill would enhance the ability of Iowa’s law enforcement to enforce the terms of the federal law. The Issue in Depth: In the United States, over 4000 women are killed by homicide each year.

August 14, 2001 Contact: HHS Press Office PREVENTING VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN Overview : Violence against women is an urgent criminal and public health problem with devastating consequences for women, children, and families. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) plays a key part in the federal government's overall strategy to prevent and stop violence against women. These efforts are designed both to reduce this violence and to ensure that women suffering from domestic violence have access to information and emergency assistance. Since Congress enacted the Violence Against Women Act as part of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, HHS has significantly expanded its efforts. HHS quadrupled resources for battered women's programs and shelters, created a national toll-free domestic violence hotline (1-800-799-SAFE), and expanded efforts to raise awareness of domestic violence in the workplace and among health care providers. In fiscal year 2001, Congress appropriated $244.5 million for HHS programs to prevent violence against women, including $2.2 million for the National Domestic Violence Hotline. President Bush's fiscal year 2002 budget increases that commitment to $251 million. BACKGROUND The landmark Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), administered by HHS and the Department of Justice (DOJ), provided funding to hire more prosecutors and improve domestic violence training among prosecutors, police officers, and health and social services professionals. It also provided for more shelters, counseling services and research into causes of violence and effective community campaigns to reduce violence against women.

In 85% of the households where domestic violence occurs, an animal is also abused. Veterinarians are uniquely positioned to recognize signs of animal abuse, child abuse and domestic violence yet receive no training in these areas. "Domestic Violence and Animal Abuse: The Cruel Connection" is designed specifically for veterinarians, animal control officers, animal shelter workers, and law enforcement agents as well as domestic violence service providers. This groundbreaking conference will discuss animal abuse, the dynamics of domestic violence as well as how to approach this sensitive topic with a potential victim. Participants will be taught what kinds of injuries in veterinary patients are consistent with intentional abuse as well as what laws exist to protect our patients, clients and ourselves. A humane investigations officer and former Chicago police officer will present an inside look at investigations.
