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.

Violence Prevention at UCR Prevention of Violence at UCR Procedures Referral Services Policy Statement ... Responsibility October 27, 1998 To the Campus Community: UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, RIVERSIDE PREVENTION OF VIOLENCE AT UCR UCR is committed to a safe and healthful campus for faculty, students, staff, and visitors. As you know, the issue of violence in the workplace has become a serious national concern. While UCR has always had a policy of not tolerating threats or violence on campus, I believe that in order to ensure that the campus remains a safe place, it is prudent to reaffirm this policy in writing. UCR has a "zero tolerance" policy with respect to threatening statements, behavior, or violence directed toward employees, students, or any other members of the public conducting business with the University. All threatening comments and behavior will be taken seriously and investigated. A team of campus professionals will assist in determining the proper University response for each incident. As a community it is our collective responsibility to report all threatening statements and actions immediately. If you experience a threatening situation, or know of any instance involving threats of physical violence toward any UCR student or employee from inside or outside the University community, I ask that you report it immediately to your department and/or the appropriate member of the Prevention of Workplace Violence Team (listed on page 6 of the Policy).

View HHD Project Websites Center for Violence and Injury Prevention Challenges Intentional or unintentional injury is the single greatest cause of death and hospitalization for children and adolescents in the United States. Injuries not only disrupt and destroy the lives of individuals, but also harm communities and nations as a whole. Violence and injuries typically affect the age groups about to be the most productive in society. The economic toll is enormous. Given that a science of injury prevention does exist, the challenge lies in getting this knowledge out to communities so that various agencies and government sectors can use what is known to devise their own injury prevention strategies. Mission The mission of the center is to reduce intentional and unintentional injuries in our homes, schools, and communities and in society at large by working across sectors with education, public and mental health, criminal justice, child and family services, and health care together to devise prevention and intervention strategies. In the area of intentional injuries, the center addresses youth violence, domestic violence, hate crime, and suicide prevention. Unintentional injuries include motor vehicle-related injuries, falls, burns, drownings, and workplace injuries.

The Response Joining Together Recognizing that the loss of approximately 30,000 lives a year to firearms in the United States is unacceptable, communities from across the country are joining together in an effort to stem the tide of gun-related injuries and deaths. Gun violence prevention activists, law enforcement officers, public health officials, survivors, youth workers, faith leaders, parents and youth, among others, are mobilizing in the belief that something can and must be done to stop the violence. An increasing number of national and state groups, dedicated to reducing firearm-related injuries and deaths, have emerged over the past several decades in response to this problem. National gun violence prevention groups like the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence United with the Million Mom March, the Violence Policy Center, and the HELP Network are: lobbying for more responsible gun legislation; working to change firearm-related policy;

Funding News Funding News Police Chiefs Lobby to Save Violence Prevention Funds Email Print Subscribe Most Emailed A number of police chiefs are going to Capitol Hill to urge members of Congress to preserve funding for youth and gang violence-prevention programs, the Winchester (Va.) Star reported April 27. According to Fight Crime: Invest in Kids , a nonprofit, anti-crime group, the White House budget would cut more than 40 percent of federal funding for juvenile justice and delinquency prevention programs. The budget completely eliminates funding for the Juvenile Accountability Block Grant, which provides states and local communities with funding for programs like intensive family therapy. Fight Crime is encouraging police chiefs to go before Congress to argue for the funding. "The cuts are so massive that they're essentially gutting programs that we have here," said Police Chief Gary Reynolds of the Winchester Police Department. "It would impact initiatives we have in the Winchester city schools, and also Frederick County schools and also local substance-abuse programs." Reynolds and a police chief from Alaska plan to speak before the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate about the importance of funding to curb juvenile crime. "I'm going to talk about the fact that youth violence is as severe as adult violence, and the importance of law enforcement working together with schools, neighborhoods, and everyone else that has an interest in young people to come up with safe alternatives to youth violence," Reynolds said.

Press/News Overview ... 13 Violence Prevention Initiatives Thirteen Violence Prevention Initiatives Between December 1997 and April 1998, more than 300 Valley citizens participated in five work groups under the Violence Prevention Initiative (PVPI). Their goal was to devise violence prevention strategies in each of the domains assigned to the five work groups: prenatal/ early childhood, individual youth, family, school and neighborhood /community. Each group met twice monthly to discuss research regarding what works and what doesn't work, hear from local experts and practitioners and discuss problems specific to greater Phoenix. These efforts culminated in the development of thirteen violence prevention initiatives organized around the five major themes. Together, they form the framework of the region's first comprehensive violence prevention strategy. (Note: This is an abbreviated summary of the 13 initiatives.

The project also has an Aboriginal Elders group attached to it that acts in an advisory capacity. The project works with Aboriginal families who have multiple problems and who have a number of agencies involved with them. These families are often difficult to engage, resource heavy for all agencies and need a different approach to create change. Rather than agencies attempting to control families, the project applies the principles of empowerment, participation and partnership with intensive availability and help from workers when requested. Intervention with the families involves following an 11 stage model at the family's pace.

Training Keys Section 3 Guidelines for Law Enforcement Agencies Fifteen years ago police agencies provided little or no service to the victims of domestic violence because such intervention was not considered appropriate. Today nearly every police department has a policy, procedures and resources dedicated to addressing domestic violence. Workplace violence warrants a similar response from law enforcement, given the rise of violent crime by nonstrangers in the workplace, the heightened concern of employers, the high risk for injury associated with these crimes, and the inappropriateness of using traditional police strategies when confronting multiple-victim workplace shooting situations. Many police executives have concluded that their existing domestic violence programs provide a useful framework for structuring new policies and procedures concerning workplace violence. This strategy was used by many of the police officials who developed the following guidelines for law enforcement agencies. These guidelines should help police address workplace violence in their communities without overtaxing departmental resources. Employers may also wish to read this section so that they can better understand how police agencies might assist them in combating workplace violence. I.
