Home News Events City Departments ... Contact Us Search for: City Commits to Violence Prevention Plan September 2, 1998 Mayor Richard M. Daley today accepted the first-ever strategic plan to attack violence at its source. The Chicago Violence Prevention Strategic Plan calls for a coordinated approach at all levels to reduce the violence that pervades and corrodes communities. It seeks better cooperation among social service agencies, community organizations, schools, law enforcement agencies and families. "This is the first plan of its kind in the country," Mayor Daley said at a news conference. He was joined by Public Health Commissioner Sheila Lyne, Police Superintendent Terry G. Hillard and representatives of the organizations that prepared the report. "We need to be creative and forthright about curbing violence in our families and in our communities," the Mayor continued. "We need to focus on violence not just as a law enforcement problem but as a public health problem that can be addressed through programs that seek to prevent violence. Safe neighborhoods begin with safe families." Citing the $1.3 billion estimated annual cost of violence to Chicago, the Mayor called on agencies, community organizations and individuals to implement the strategies laid out in the plan to encourage Chicagoans to embrace the goal of preventing violence.

Domestic violence affects us all: Domestic violence is insidious. It is characterized by a predictable, escalating cycle that can result in the injury or death of victims, including children. Domestic violence is everywhere. It cuts across all economic and education levels, all age groups, ethnicity and other social and community characteristics. Domestic violence is progressive. A recent review of Probation felony domestic violence offenders in Contra Costa County showed that 38% had prior domestic violence-related misdemeanor convictions. Domestic violence is costly, both in human and organizational terms. It contains many "hidden" costs - job turnover/lost productivity, school absenteeism/low performance - in addition to the high cost of law enforcement, civil/criminal justice, health services, mental health, and substance abuse treatment, human services and community-based services. Substance abuse is a significant contributing factor (although not necessarily a cause) of domestic violence. In the review of Probation felony domestic violence offenders previously referenced, 90% had documented histories of substance abuses, or were under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol at the time the felony crime was committed. Domestic violence is learned and generational. The family of origin acts as the strongest role model for intimate relationships. When violence occurs in the home, it is accepted and family members view violence as a normal part of relationships. Studies show that boys who witness family violence are more likely to batter their female partners as adults than boys raised in nonviolent homes. Girls who witness their mother's abuse have a higher rate of being battered as adults.

A man with a long history of domestic violence stands accused of murdering strangers. Why did his violence escalate from family members and friends to strangers? We don't know. But we do know he should never have been able to purchase a rifle since he had an order of protection against him. The system is in place but it failed this time. And as a result, random individuals are dead and injured. We provide this article from the Family Violence Prevention Fund as background for understanding and discussing the sniper shootings.

Contact Us Clergy Should be Required to Report Child Abuse Guest columnist Rev. Marie Fortune Special to The Seattle Times The recent spate of scandals in the Roman Catholic Church involving pedophile priests protected by their superiors, moved from diocese to diocese, leaving a trail of victims, has raised the question: Why were these people not reported to the police for their oftentimes criminal abuse of children and adolescents? The answer is that in many states, the clergy hierarchy that supervised them was not required by law to report. Most states have a mandate to report the suspicion of child abuse to law enforcement. Most such statutes read like this one from Texas: "A person having cause to believe that a child's physical or mental health or welfare has been or may be adversely affected by abuse or neglect by any person shall immediately make a report.... A professional must report within 48 hours, meaning anyone with direct contact with children ... without exception to an individual whose personal communications may otherwise be privileged, including ... a member of the clergy. ... A person acting in good faith who reports ... alleged child abuse or neglect is immune from civil or criminal liability." This means that any person can and should report the suspicion of child abuse and that, specifically, helping professionals are required to report and clergy are not exempt, and that those who report are immune from liability. So in the states that have this provision, clerical superiors to whom child abuse is disclosed should have reported it to law enforcement. Some did, but it appears that many did not.

El Projecto Seguro These issues, along with the obvious language barrier, led to the development of a crime prevention program for Hispanic communities. The project, El Projecto Seguro (The Safe Project) is supported by an $186,000 grant from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. MPD proposed the following goals for the program: Educate the Latino community through crime prevention programs. Increase the Latino community awareness about MPD. Improve relations between MPD and Hispanic communities. Recruit Latino community members to train others about MPD services. Build Latino trust of police to increase their willingness to report crimes. Working Together El Project Seguro was never intended to be a one-way educational street. The architects of the project specifically sought a union between MPD and Latino communities so that the learning and development channels traveled both ways.

Trafficking 28 October 2000 Text: Clinton On Victims of Trafficking and Violence Prevention Act Says law improves efforts to fight violence against women President Clinton October 28 signed H.R. 3244, the "Victims of Trafficking and Violence Prevention Act of 2000," saying the law "provides important new tools to combat the worldwide scourge of trafficking in persons." Following is the text of Clinton's statement: Statement by the President: H.R. 3244, the "Victims of Trafficking and Violence Prevention Act of 2000" THE WHITE HOUSE 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.

Welcome from the Executive Director Mission and Vision Purpose Training and Technical Assistance ... Links to NYS Government Sites Welcome from Charlotte A. Watson, Executive Director Welcome to the OPDV web page. We have worked to make this a content-driven site to provide you with information and tools to address domestic violence in your community. As a state agency, we are here to serve you and we welcome your suggestions. Governor Pataki has declared zero tolerance of domestic violence as a standard for the state. We have made tremendous progress in improving the response of law enforcement and service providers. However, ending domestic violence will require a personal commitment to the same standard. This means changing old beliefs about sharing power in intimate relationships. While change is difficult, it is possible. We have seen this happen recently in issues regarding smoking in public places or drinking and driving. All it takes is commitment, information, courage, and time. The main ingredient is you. The individual decisions you make and the collective decisions made by the larger community have a profound impact. We at OPDV are here to support you in your decisions around the safety of women and children and equality in intimate relationships. We hope this web page will assist you in having the information needed to support change in your community.
