governments, units of local government and nonprofit, nongovernmental 

victim services programs for the purpose of developing and strengthening 

effective law enforcement and prosecution strategies to combat violent 

crimes against women, and to develop and strengthen victim services in 

cases involving violent crimes against women.

    (b) Grantees and subgrantees shall develop a plan for implementation 

and shall consult and coordinate with nonprofit, nongovernmental victim 

services programs, including sexual assault and domestic violence victim 

services programs. Section 2002(c)(2). The goal of the planning process 

is the enhanced coordination and integration of law enforcement, 

prosecution, courts, probation and parole agencies, and victim services 

in the prevention, identification, and response to cases involving 

violence against women. States and localities are encouraged to include 

Indian tribal governments in developing their plans. States and 

localities should, therefore, consider the needs of Indian tribal 

governments in developing their law enforcement, prosecution and victims 

services in cases involving violence against women. Indian tribal 

governments may also be considered subgrantees of the State. Section 

2002(a).
