DOJ funds enforcement for 'special domestic violence criminal jurisdictions' in 11 tribal nations
Fox News
The Department of Justice has announced almost a dozen monetary awards to be distributed to tribal authorities across the United States to aid internal domestic abuse resources.
"We heard from tribal leaders that they need access to funds to support the day-to-day costs of SDVCJ, and I’m pleased to announce OVW is issuing 11 awards to implementing tribes to defray these costs," said OVW principal deputy director Allison Randall. "OVW is dedicated to working with tribes to address challenges in protecting victims and responding to offenders in their communities, as well as supporting tribal sovereignty."
The Tribal Jurisdiction program and its related awards seek to provide tribal governments more autonomous jurisdiction over Indian country. The program allows for tribal governments to arrest and prosecute individuals for certain crimes committed in Indian country "regardless of their Indian or non-Indian status." Authority over domestic violence in Indian country was granted to tribal governments in The Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013.
