effective law enforcement and prosecution strategies to combat violent 
crimes against women, and to develop and strengthen victim services in 
cases involving violent crimes against women.
    (b) Grantees and subgrantees shall develop a plan for implementation 
and shall consult and coordinate with nonprofit, nongovernmental victim 
services programs, including sexual assault and domestic violence victim 
services programs. Section 2002(c)(2). The goal of the planning process 
is the enhanced coordination and integration of law enforcement, 
prosecution, courts, probation and parole agencies, and victim services 
in the prevention, identification, and response to cases involving 
violence against women. States and localities are encouraged to include 
Indian tribal governments in developing their plans. States and 
localities should, therefore, consider the needs of Indian tribal 
governments in developing their law enforcement, prosecution and victims 
services in cases involving violence against women. Indian tribal 
governments may also be considered subgrantees of the State. Section 
2002(a).
