The Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) is offering the Fiscal Year 2025 Grants to Improve the Criminal Justice Response Program (ICJR Program). This grant is for assisting state, local, and Tribal governments, alongside courts, in their efforts to significantly enhance how the criminal justice system addresses critical issues like domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The core objective is to ensure these acts are treated as serious criminal violations. By supporting these entities, the program aims to bolster responses that prioritize the safety, autonomy, and well-being of victims. Ultimately, this initiative seeks to strengthen the legal framework and practical application of justice for individuals impacted by these violent crimes, fostering a more effective and victim-centered approach within the justice system.
