FY 2008 Grants to Reduce Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault and Stalking on Campus Program: Violence against women -- including dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking -- is a serious problem on campuses, as it is across the nation. On campuses, however, unique issues arise. To address these particular circumstances, Congress created the Grants to Reduce Violent Crimes Against Women on Campus Program (hereinafter referred to as the Campus Program). The Campus Program implements certain provisions of the Higher Education Amendments of 1998, as reauthorized by Congress in the Violence Against Women Act of 2000.The primary purpose of the Campus Program is to develop and strengthen victim services in cases involving violent crimes against women on campuses. The Campus Program also aims to strengthen security and investigative strategies to prevent and prosecute violent crimes against women on campuses.
