The Violence Against Women Act of 1994 (108 Stat.
1902 et seq.) is amended by adding at the end the following:
‘‘Subtitle M—Strengthening Amer-
ica’s Families by Preventing Vio-
lence Against Women and Chil-
dren
‘‘SEC. 41301. FINDINGS.
‘‘Congress finds that—
‘‘(1) the former United States Advisory Board on
Child Abuse suggests that domestic violence may be
the single major precursor to child abuse and neglect
fatalities in this country;
‘‘(2) studies suggest that as many as 10,000,000
children witness domestic violence every year;
‘‘(3) studies suggest that among children and
teenagers, recent exposure to violence in the home was
†
148
HR 3402 EAS
a significant factor in predicting a child’s violent be-
havior;
‘‘(4) a study by the Nurse-Family Partnership
found that children whose parents did not participate
in home visitation programs that provided coaching
in parenting skills, advice and support, were almost
5 times more likely to be abused in their first 2 years
of life;
‘‘(5) a child’s exposure to domestic violence seems
to pose the greatest independent risk for being the vic-
tim of any act of partner violence as an adult;
‘‘(6) children exposed to domestic violence are
more likely to believe that using violence is an effec-
tive means of getting one’s needs met and managing
conflict in close relationships;
‘‘(7) children exposed to abusive parenting, harsh
or erratic discipline, or domestic violence are at in-
creased risk for juvenile crime; and
‘‘(8) in a national survey of more than 6,000
American families, 50 percent of men who frequently
assaulted their wives also frequently abused their chil-
dren.
‘‘SEC. 41302. PURPOSE.
‘‘The purpose of this subtitle is to—
†
149
HR 3402 EAS
‘‘(1) prevent crimes involving violence against
women, children, and youth;
‘‘(2) increase the resources and services available
to prevent violence against women, children, and
youth;
‘‘(3) reduce the impact of exposure to violence in
the lives of children and youth so that the
intergenerational cycle of violence is interrupted;
‘‘(4) develop and implement education and serv-
ices programs to prevent children in vulnerable fami-
lies from becoming victims or perpetrators of domestic
violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking;
‘‘(5) promote programs to ensure that children
and youth receive the assistance they need to end the
cycle of violence and develop mutually respectful, non-
violent relationships; and
‘‘(6) encourage collaboration among community-
based organizations and governmental agencies serv-
ing children and youth, providers of health and men-
tal health services and providers of domestic violence,
dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking victim
services to prevent violence against women and chil-
dren.
