Extractions: "At the Local Level: Perspectives on Violence Prevention" will be published several times a year with articles on issues of interest to local communities that reflect both the law enforcement and public health perspectives on preventing violence. It is co-sponsored by Health and Human Services Agency Secretary Grantland Johnson. "Law enforcement has always placed an emphasis on aggressive enforcement to fight violent crime," Lockyer said. "But we have learned that public safety can be greatly increased when we combine prevention strategies with the arrest, prosecution and imprisonment of those responsible for violence. Successfully protecting Californians from crime will depend upon our ability to direct resources to prevention efforts that involve law enforcement, social services, community leaders, faith-based organizations, educators and the health community."
School Violence Prevention: About The Program

Extractions: About the Program In FY 1999, the U.S. Congress appropriated $40 million to fund a program for the prevention of violence in schools. CMHS was one of three Federal agencies authorized to design and implement the program, known as the Safe Schools/Healthy Students Initiative. The U.S. Surgeon General's Report on Youth Violence Prevention, released in January 2001, clearly demonstrates a continued need for the program. It shows that the epidemic of youth violence is not over, even though arrest rates for violent crimes by youth have dropped substantially. The carrying and use of weapons in violent crimes have declined. At the same time, however, arrest rates for aggravated assault remain nearly 70 percent higher than in 1983, and data based on self-reports indicate that the proportion of youth involved in violent behavior has not declined since the peak years in the mid-1990s. The greatest challenge is in directing and redirecting resources toward effective, research-based prevention strategies and programs. The Center's Safe Schools/Healthy Students Initiative addresses this challenge by promoting comprehensive, integrated, community-wide strategies, with the ultimate goal of fostering school safety and healthy youth development. The Safe Schools/Healthy Students Initiative is a grant program designed to develop real-world knowledge about what works best to reduce school violence. During the first two years of the program, grants of $1 million to $3 million were awarded to 77 local school districts that have formal partnerships with local mental health and law enforcement agencies. Grant awards totaled $145 million. School districts are using the funds to help communities design and implement comprehensive educational, mental health, social service, law enforcement, and juvenile justice services for youth. These services are designed to promote healthy childhood development, foster resilience, and prevent youth violence.

Following is the text of Clinton's statement: Statement by the President: Office of the Press Secretary October 28, 2000 Statement by the President Today I am pleased to sign into law H.R. 3244, the "Victims of Trafficking and Violence Prevention Act of 2000" (the "Act"). This landmark legislation accomplishes a number of important objectives and Administration priorities. It strengthens and improves upon the Nation's efforts to fight violence against women. It also provides important new tools and resources to combat the worldwide scourge of trafficking in persons and provides vital assistance to victims of trafficking. And it helps American victims of terrorism abroad to collect court-awarded compensation. This legislation builds on the "Violence Against Women Act of 1994" (VAWA), which created new Federal crimes and enhanced penalties to combat sexual assault and domestic violence, and established new grant programs for law enforcement agencies, prosecution offices, and victim services organizations to fight violence against women. It also authorized funding for education, outreach, and prevention programs, which have helped to create coordinated community responses to violence against women throughout the United States. While we can certainly take pride in what we have accomplished since 1994, we know we must do more. To that end, H.R. 3244 reauthorizes VAWA and improves on the original bill by establishing several new initiatives.

Extractions: November 1, 1979 The UCD Rape Prevention Education Program is part of a system-wide Rape Prevention Education Program; that is there exists sister programs on all nine of the University of California campuses. The original concept for the program was developed in 1976 at which time a Rape Prevention Education Program was instituted on he University of California, Berkeley campus under the direction of Ms. Maria Sakovich. In 1978 Ms. Sakovich together with Chief William Beall Jr., system-wide Police Services Coordinator who also operates out of the UC Berkeley campus, began to explore possible sources of outside funding for the program. In an attempt to realize this aim, Ms. Sakovich and Mr. Beall collaborated on the writing of a grant which they then submitted to the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration in hopes of gaining funding for the UCB Rape Prevention Education Program. The Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA) responded to the effect that, while they would not consider funding a program that was limited to a single University of California campus, they would consider funding a system-wide Rape Prevention Education Program. Consequently the grant was revised to include the creation of similar programs on each of the University of California campuses and was resubmitted. In advocating the University of California as an organization/institution qualified to administer a Rape Prevention Education Program, the grant stated the following reasons;

In addition, you have the right to make a formal criminal report to the police department having jurisdiction over the incident. If you request, a CVPP Advocate will assist you in notifying the appropriate police agency. If you request a police response after an on-campus assault, a UC Davis Police officer will explain the police and medical procedures, and, with your consent, transport you to the nearest hospital equipped to perform evidentiary medical exams. You can decide later whether or not to seek prosecution, but evidence must be collected promptly or it is lost. You should seek immediate medical attention whether or not you report the incident to the police, even if you do not feel you have been seriously injured. A medical examination is important to check for sexually transmitted diseases or other infection/injuries, or for pregnancy. Physical evidence must be collected within 72 hours of the assault, and only at a certified medical facility, upon request of a law enforcement agency. To preserve evidence, you should not change clothes, bathe or shower, brush your teeth or use mouthwash, comb your hair, or take other action to clean up before going to the hospital. The CVPP Advocate and/or a police officer will accompany you to the exam.

Extractions: Across the country, schools and districts are preparing for a new academic year. Community members from law enforcement, social services, state and local government, and health fields, as well as parents and students, are working with teachers to identify and implement proven prevention strategies and to maximize efforts to keep the nation's young people safe, healthy, and drug free. These efforts will strengthen the national goal, exemplified in the No Child Left Behind legislation, of ensuring that every child is able to learn and grow. Here's what schools are doing across the country to prepare for safe and drug-free learning environments and to strengthen the important link between prevention initiatives and academic performance. Oklahoma Kansas The Hope Street Academy, a Charter School in Topeka, Kansas, is getting the local business community actively involved in developing comprehensive prevention strategies through a service learning initiative that connects students to the community. The Academy's program places students in settings that foster self-esteem, confidence, and increased dialogue with caring adults. It emphasizes creating links between the school and community, and strengthening the connections between prevention initiatives and academic performance.

Extractions: Wednesday, May 5, 1999 AUSTIN - Texas Attorney General John Cornyn and Education Commissioner Mike Moses today announced the formation of The Attorney General's School Violence Prevention task force comprised of state lawmakers, educators, law enforcement officials, and parents. The task force is charged with creating a series of recommendations so local school officials and parents can recognize the warning signs before students become violent. Members will also discuss ways school officials can respond effectively when violent acts occur in Texas schools. "I have formed the Attorney General's School Violence Prevention Task Force in cooperation with Mike Moses to bring together the best Texas resources in education and law enforcement," said Attorney General Cornyn. "Our challenge is not simply to have a crisis plan in place for every school district in Texas but to develop plans and programs that can prevent school violence," Cornyn added. "I have included parents and community leaders on my task force because children shouldn't hear the anti-school violence message from educators and law enforcement officials alone. That message needs to also come from parents, neighbors and our churches," said Attorney General Cornyn.

Extractions: November 20, 2002 Studies for Workplace Violence Prevention Funded Under Five New NIOSH Grant Awards The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) awarded five new grants to fund research for the prevention of workplace violence. The grants total approximately $1.8 million and are funded as part of a $2 million Fiscal Year 2002 Workplace Violence Initiative, in which Congress directed NIOSH to develop intramural and extramural research targeting workplace violence. Four of the studies will focus on identifying risk factors for workplace violence in diverse occupational groups (social service workers, health-care employees, police officers, and long-haul truckers), and the fifth will focus on research to increase the identification of domestic violence in the workplace. All of the projects address research priorities identified in recommendations from a workshop of experts from industry, labor, government, and academia, held in April 2000. The workshop was co-sponsored by the University of Iowa Injury Prevention Research Center and NIOSH. According to recent data, 677 workplace homicides occurred in 2000, and 1.7 million workers are injured every year in non-fatal workplace assaults. In 1996, NIOSH suggested strategies for preventing incidents of workplace violence, and noted that more research was needed to better identify risk factors and assess interventions.

Extractions: Agency: State Police Domestic Violence Domestic violence impacts Michigan families and communities at all levels. People across the entire spectrum, from infancy to the elderly, are the victims of this crime. It is not limited to any race, age, sexual orientation, socioeconomic class, educational level, or occupation. According to the Michigan State Police Criminal Justice Information Center, 41,822 people were reported as victims of domestic violence in 1999. We can be encouraged that this is down from 47,499 in 1998, but the numbers are still staggering. In 1999, 31 people were killed as a result of domestic violence. WHAT IS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: Michigan law requires that you have a "special" relationship with another individual to be considered "domestic" in nature. A special relationship between assailant and victim is defined as spouse, former spouse, resident, former resident, or they have a child in common. The "Power and Control Wheel" shows how batterers use different tactics to manipulate their environment and control their partners.
