Idaho Senator Mike <SPAN id=misspell-13 class=mark>Crapo</SPAN> joined with Senator Patrick <SPAN id=misspell-14 class=mark>Leahy</SPAN> (D-Vermont) in introducing the <SPAN id=misspell-15 class=mark>reauthorization</SPAN> of the Violence Against Women Act (<SPAN id=misspell-16 class=mark>VAWA</SPAN>), S. 1925. <SPAN id=misspell-17 class=mark>Crapo</SPAN>, a long-time leader in Congress against domestic violence and co-author of similar legislation in past

The measure provides access to legal and social services for survivors of domestic violence, and provides training to law enforcement, prosecutors, judges, attorneys and advocates to address these crimes in our nation's communities.<BR><BR>"Last year in Idaho,
twenty-two people were killed by a domestic partner," <SPAN id=misspell-22 class=mark>Crapo</SPAN> added. "Approximately one in three adolescent girls in the United States is a victim of physical, emotional, or verbal abuse from a dating partner. Nearly one in ten high school students nation-wide were hit, slapped, or physically hurt on purpose by their boyfriend or girlfriend. Future tragedies must be prevented. While we may not all agree on the specifics of this <SPAN id=misspell-23 class=mark>reauthorization</SPAN>, all of us agree that we must end domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking in the United States."<BR><BR>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. <SPAN id=misspell-24 class=mark>VAWA</SPAN> provides tools to prevent domestic violence
homicides by supporting training to those law enforcement officers, victim service providers and court personnel who are working on the <SPAN id=misspell-25 class=mark>frontlines</SPAN> to eliminate domestic violence. The legislation also promotes accountability to ensure that federal funds are used for their intended purposes, and consolidates programs and reduces authorization levels to address fiscal concerns while focusing on the programs that have been the most successful.<BR><BR><BR>To view Senator <SPAN id=misspell-26 class=mark>Crapo's</SPAN> floor statement <SPAN id=misspell-27 class=mark>online</SPAN>, please use the following address: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbAHBCQDX4I<BR><BR>To directly link to this news release, please use the following address: http://www.crapo.senate.gov/media/newsreleases/release_full.cfm?id=336639<BR><BR><BR><BR># # #<BR><BR><BR>This is generated from an unattended mailbox.
