    Summary

    Established by the Violence Against Women Act of 1994, the STOP Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) Program seeks to develop and implement law enforcement and prosecution strategies to effectively decrease violent crimes against women. These grants also help to develop and enhance services provided to the victims of violent crimes.


    In New Hampshire , the NH Department of Justice is responsible for coordinating VAWA funds with local agencies. Funds through VAWA provide systematic and sustained focus on permanent systems change within the New Hampshire criminal justice system, while simultaneously developing a comprehensive network of domestic violence and sexual assault victim service advocates and programs throughout New Hampshire communities. 


    VAWA funds may be used for multiple purposes, including:

    • Comprehensive training projects (especially multi-disciplinary training).
    • Specialized units such as programs in law enforcement or district attorneys' offices.
    • Projects developing protocols, policies, and evaluation mechanisms.
    • Projects developing data collection and communication systems.
    • Sexual assault and domestic violence victim services programs.
    • Projects concerning stalking; projects designed for Native American women.
    • Projects addressing the needs of older, disabled, and other underserved women.
    • Projects supporting statewide multidisciplinary efforts; training of sexual assault forensic medical personnel.
    • Assistance for domestic violence and sexual assault victims with immigration matters.

    Generally, the State of New Hampshire prioritizes VAWA grant funds in three areas:

    • Creation of specialized domestic violence and sexual assault units, combining the roles of law enforcement, prosecution and victim services. Grant awards have been given to fund prosecutorial positions, victim-witness advocate positions, investigator positions, and probation/parole officer positions.
    • Agencies that provide direct services to victims and emergency legal representation, such as the New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence, Sexual Assault Support Services and the New Hampshire Bar Association.
    • Training and coordination on a statewide basis such as the Administrative Office of the Courts, to train judges and court personnel and to help distribute revised domestic violence protocols for the courts.
