The Violence Against Women Act grant encourages enhancement of effective strategies to improve the system's response to violence against women. The Utah Victim Assistance Academy, sponsored by CVR, is a week-long training for victim assistance providers, law enforcement officers, and other criminal justice professionals. The goal of the academy is to provide fundamental knowledge and skills needed to effectively work with victims of crime. The academy is funded through a federal grant. Statutory Authority Statutory authority for this program is located in UCA 63M Chapter 7 Part 5, "Crime Victim Reparations Act." Funding Detail No state tax dollars are used to fund the Crime Victim Reparation program.

| Subcommittee Table of ContentsProgram: Crime Reduction Assistance Program Function During the 2004 General Session, the Legislature passed Senate Bill 175, 'Protection of Private Lawfully Obtained Property.' The bill created the Crime Reduction Assistance Program. The intent of this program is to fund crime prevention and law enforcement activities within specific guidelines. As such, the bill places the condition on agencies seizing private property as a result of illegal activities to direct these liquidated and forfeited assets to the Criminal Forfeiture Restricted Account (CFRA). Once funds are placed in the CFRA, the Legislature may choose to appropriate the funds to the CCJJ to be allocated to agencies providing drug interdiction and treatment programs.
