Look at this in the VAWA. “The act provides grants to state and local authorities for legal assistance, transitional housing, law enforcement training, stalker databases and domestic violence hotlines. The Senate bill extends the act for five years and provides $659 million for VAWA programs, down 17 percent from the last reauthorization in 2005.” Wow! Stalker databases! The people in power know there is a problem! Yahoo! This is progress!”
