Domestic Violence Awareness Month

October is designated as Domestic Violence Awareness Month. OJP is proud to work with our colleagues at the Department's Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) and our partners at the state and local level to end the violence. While we highlight our efforts related to domestic violence in October as a way to bring attention to this issue, it is important to remember that stopping this crime is our year-round priority.
