Idaho Senator Mike Crapo= joined with Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont) in introducing the reauthori= zation of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), S. 1925. Crapo, a long-ti= me leader in Congress against domestic violence and co-author of similar le= gislation in past sessions, spoke on the Senate floor today regarding the i= mportance of reauthorization. "I am a long-time champion of the prevention of domestic violence because I= have seen the impact of this abuse in Idaho," Crapo said. "The Act provid= es critical services to victims of violent crime, as well as agencies and o= rganizations that provide important aid to those victims." Crapo noted that VAWA has been the centerpiece of the nation's commitment t= o end domestic, dating and sexual violence for nearly eighteen years. The = measure provides access to legal and social services for survivors of domes= tic violence, and provides training to law enforcement, prosecutors, judges= , attorneys and advocates to address these crimes in our nation's communiti= es. "Last year in Idaho, twenty-two people were killed by a domestic partner," = Crapo added. "Approximately one in three adolescent girls in the United St= ates is a victim of physical, emotional, or verbal abuse from a dating part= ner. Nearly one in ten high school students nation-wide were hit, slapped,= or physically hurt on purpose by their boyfriend or girlfriend. Future tr= agedies must be prevented. While we may not all agree on the specifics of = this reauthorization, all of us agree that we must end domestic violence, d= ating violence, sexual assault and stalking in the United States." The widely-supported legislation, which passed 68 to 31, improves existing = programs to address evolving needs in the fight against domestic violence, = dating violence, sexual assault and stalking. VAWA provides tools to prev= ent domestic violence homicides by supporting training to those law enforce= ment officers, victim service providers and court personnel who are working= on the frontlines to eliminate domestic violence. The legislation also pr= omotes accountability to ensure that federal funds are used for their inten= ded purposes, and consolidates programs and reduces authorization levels to= address fiscal concerns while focusing on the programs that have been the = most successful.
