Abstract: The Higher Education Amendments of 1998 originally
created the Grants to Combat Violent Crimes Against Women on Campuses
Program (renamed the Grants to Reduce Violent Crimes Against Women on
Campus Program in the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) of 2000 (Campus
Program)). 34 U.S.C. 20125 Campus Program grant funds may be used to
enhance victim services and develop programs to prevent violent crimes
against women on campuses. The Campus Program also enables institutions
of higher education to develop and strengthen effective security and
investigation strategies to combat violent crimes against women on
campuses, including domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault,
and stalking.
