** Gov. Justice awards over $871,000 in grants to improve response to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking
------------------------------------------------------------
CHARLESTON, WV – Gov. Jim Justice announced today that he has awarded grant funds totaling $871,834.00 for three projects through the West Virginia Improving Criminal Justice Responses (ICJR) to Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking Program.

The ICJR Program encourages state, local, and tribal governments, and courts to treat domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking as serious violations of criminal law, requiring the coordinated involvement of the entire criminal justice system.

These funds were awarded by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women, and are administered by the Justice and Community Services Section of the West Virginia Division of Administrative Services.
