The Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) receives Federal funds from the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act for the prevention of domestic violence and domestic violence education. This funding also supports domestic violence coalitions in the provision of advocacy, planning, public awareness and education, administration and direct service. In Arizona these funds are used primarily to provide services to the rural areas of the state utilizing Rural Safe Home Networks and to support the Arizona Coalition Against Domestic Violence (AzCADV). Currently the Department funds five safe homes, Verde Valley Sanctuary Children's Services, the Never Again Foundation, and AzCADV. The Rural Safe Home Networks operate domestic violence hot lines, provide domestic violence victims and their children with temporary, emergency safe shelter, peer counseling, case management, and advocacy. The Arizona Coalition Against Domestic Violence provides domestic violence training throughout Arizona to domestic violence services providers, law enforcement, legal systems, medical communities, social service providers, and others as requested.

NIOSH UPDATE Contact: Fred Blosser (202) 401-3749 November 20, 2002 Studies for Workplace Violence Prevention Funded Under Five New NIOSH Grant Awards The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) awarded five new grants to fund research for the prevention of workplace violence. The grants total approximately $1.8 million and are funded as part of a $2 million Fiscal Year 2002 Workplace Violence Initiative, in which Congress directed NIOSH to develop intramural and extramural research targeting workplace violence. Four of the studies will focus on identifying risk factors for workplace violence in diverse occupational groups (social service workers, health-care employees, police officers, and long-haul truckers), and the fifth will focus on research to increase the identification of domestic violence in the workplace. All of the projects address research priorities identified in recommendations from a workshop of experts from industry, labor, government, and academia, held in April 2000. The workshop was co-sponsored by the University of Iowa Injury Prevention Research Center and NIOSH. According to recent data, 677 workplace homicides occurred in 2000, and 1.7 million workers are injured every year in non-fatal workplace assaults. In 1996, NIOSH suggested strategies for preventing incidents of workplace violence, and noted that more research was needed to better identify risk factors and assess interventions.

The raffle prize is a CAR UTE Elite .223-caliber rifle manufactured by Rock River Arms of Colona, Illinois. Calling a military-style, semiautomatic assault rifle, similar to the rifle used in the Washington, DC-area sniper shootings last year, a dubious choice for a raffle prize, the Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence and Iowans for the Prevention of Gun Violence offered to provide raffle organizers with a true "hunting rifle or shotgun of equal or greater value" to use for the raffle instead. The formal offer was made in a letter addressed to the Quad Cities Law Enforcement Memorial Committee during a Nov. 18 press conference in Moline. "It's difficult to understand why raffle organizers would choose an assault rifle to raise money for a memorial to slain police officers, given that assault-type weapons are involved in a disproportionate number of law enforcement officer killings," said Thom Mannard, executive director of the Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence. A recent report by the Violence Policy Center revealed that between January 1, 1998 and December 31, 2001, one out of five law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty was killed with an assault weapon (Officer Down - Assault Weapons and the War on Law Enforcement, May 2003). Of the 41 law enforcement officers killed by an assault weapon documented in the report, 12 were killed by a .223-caliber assault rifle similar to the rifle being raffled off for the police memorial.

Seave will join the California Department of Justice next month after he steps down as United States Attorney for the Eastern District of California.

"Paul Seave has been on the front lines prosecuting crime for nearly two decades and now will bring his extensive experience and knowledge to developing effective crime prevention and education strategies for law enforcement and the public in the state," Lockyer said.
