    (a) In General.--For purposes of this Act--
            (1) Domestic violence.--The term ``domestic violence'' 
        includes acts or threats of violence, not including acts of 
        self-defense, committed by a current or former spouse of the 
        victim, by a person with whom the victim shares a child in 
        common, by a person who is cohabiting with or has cohabited 
        with the victim, by a person who is or has been in a continuing 
        social relationship of a romantic or intimate nature with the 
        victim, by a person similarly situated to a spouse of the 
        victim under the domestic or family violence laws of the 
        jurisdiction, or by any other person against a victim who is 
        protected from that person's acts under the domestic or family 
        violence laws of the jurisdiction.
            (2) Indian country.--The term ``Indian country'' has the 
        same meaning as is given such term by section 1151 of title 18, 
        United States Code.
            (3) Sexual assault.--The term ``sexual assault'' means any 
        conduct proscribed by chapter 109A of title 18, United States 
        Code, whether or not the conduct occurs in the special maritime 
        and territorial jurisdiction of the United States or in a 
        Federal prison and includes both assaults committed by 
        offenders who are strangers to the victim and assaults 
        committed by offenders who are known to the victim or related 
        by blood or marriage to the victim.
            (4) Stalking.--The term ``stalking'' means engaging in a 
        course of conduct directed at a specific person that would 
        cause a reasonable person to fear death, sexual assault, or 
        bodily injury to such person or a member of such person's 
        immediate family, when the person engaging in such conduct has 
        knowledge or should have knowledge that the specific person 
        will be placed in reasonable fear of death, sexual assault, or 
        bodily injury to such person or a member of such person's 
        immediate family and when the conduct induces fear in the 
        specific person of death, sexual assault, or bodily injury to 
        such person or a member of such person's immediate family.
    (b) Underserved Populations.--Section 2003(7) of the Omnibus Crime 
Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1968 (42 U.S.C. 3796gg-2(7)) is
