Sec. 90.51  Program criteria for Indian tribal government discretionary

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 shall develop plans for implementation and shall 

consult and coordinate with, to the extent that they exist, tribal law 

enforcement; prosecutors; courts; and nonprofit, nongovernmental victim 

services programs, including sexual assault and domestic violence victim 

services programs. Indian tribal government applications must include 

documentation from nonprofit, nongovernmental victim services programs, 

if they exist, or from women in the community to be served describing 

their participation in developing the plan. The goal of the planning 

process should be to achieve better coordination and integration of law 

enforcement, prosecution, courts, probation, and victim services--the 

entire tribal justice system--in the prevention, identification, and 

response to cases involving violence against women.
