SEC. 628. GRANTS FOR RAPE, ABUSE & INCEST NATIONAL
NETWORK.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds as follows:
(1) More than 200,000 Americans each year are
victims of sexual assault, according to the Depart-
ment of Justice.
(2) In 2004, 1 American was sexually assaulted
every 2.5 minutes.
(3) One of every 6 women, and 1 of every 133
men, in America has been the victim of a completed
†
131
HR 4472 EAS
or attempted rape, according to the Department of
Justice.
(4) The Federal Bureau of Investigation ranks
rape second in the hierarchy of violent crimes for its
Uniform Crime Reports, trailing only murder.
(5) The Federal Government, through the Victims
of Crime Act, Violence Against Women Act, and other
laws, has long played a role in providing services to
sexual assault victims and in seeking policies to in-
crease the number of rapists brought to justice.
(6) Research suggests that sexual assault victims
who receive counseling support are more likely to re-
port their attack to the police and to participate in
the prosecution of the offender.
(7) Due in part to the combined efforts of law
enforcement officials at the local, State, and Federal
level, as well as the efforts of the Rape, Abuse & Incest
National Network (RAINN) and its affiliated rape
crisis centers across the United States, sexual violence
in America has fallen by more than half since 1994.
(8) RAINN, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation
headquartered in the District of Columbia, has since
1994 provided help to victims of sexual assault and
educated the public about sexual assault prevention,
prosecution, and recovery.
†
132
HR 4472 EAS
(9) RAINN established and continues to operate
the National Sexual Assault Hotline, a free, confiden-
tial telephone hotline that provides help, 24 hours a
day, to victims nationally.
(10) More than 1,100 local rape crisis centers in
the 50 States and the District of Columbia partner
with RAINN and are members of the National Sexual
Assault Hotline network (which has helped more than
970,000 people since its inception in 1994).
(11) To better serve victims of sexual assault, 80
percent of whom are under age 30 and 44 percent of
whom are under age 18, RAINN will soon launch the
National Sexual Assault Online Hotline, the web’s
first secure hotline service offering live help 24 hours
a day.
(12) Congress and the Department of Justice
have given RAINN funding to conduct its crucial
work.
(13) RAINN is a national model of public/pri-
vate partnership, raising private sector funds to
match congressional appropriations and receiving ex-
tensive private in-kind support, including advanced
technology provided by the communications and tech-
nology industries to launch the National Sexual As-
†
133
HR 4472 EAS
sault Hotline and the National Sexual Assault Online
Hotline.
(14) Worth magazine selected RAINN as one of
‘‘America’s 100 Best Charities’’, in recognition of the
organization’s ‘‘efficiency and effectiveness.’’
(15) In fiscal year 2005, RAINN spent more
than 91 cents of every dollar received directly on pro-
gram services.
(16) The demand for RAINN’s services is grow-
ing dramatically, as evidenced by the fact that, in
2005, the National Sexual Assault Hotline helped
137,039 people, an all-time record.
(17) The programs sponsored by RAINN and its
local affiliates have contributed to the increase in the
percentage of victims who report their rape to law en-
forcement.
(18) According to a recent poll, 92 percent of
American women said that fighting sexual and do-
mestic violence should be a top public policy priority
(a higher percentage than chose health care, child
care, or any other issue).
(19) Authorizing Federal funds for RAINN’s na-
tional programs would promote continued progress
with this interstate problem and would make a sig-
†
134
HR 4472 EAS
nificant difference in the prosecution of rapists and
the overall incidence of sexual violence.

†
140
HR 4472 EAS
fugitives can turn themselves in, in an atmosphere
where they feel more comfortable to do so, and have
nonviolent cases adjudicated immediately.
(2) In the 4-day pilot program in Cleveland,
Ohio, over 800 fugitives turned themselves in. By con-
trast, a successful Fugitive Task Force sweep, con-
ducted for 3 days after Fugitive Safe Surrender, re-
sulted in the arrest of 65 individuals.
