Sec. 90.51  Program criteria for Indian tribal government discretionary grants.

    (a) The Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Justice 
Programs is authorized to make grants to Indian tribal governments for 
the purpose of developing and strengthening 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 shall develop plans for implementation and shall 
consult and coordinate with, to the extent that they exist, tribal law 
enforcement; prosecutors; courts; and nonprofit,

nongovernmental victim services programs, including sexual assault and 
domestic violence victim services programs. Indian tribal government 
applications must include documentation from nonprofit, nongovernmental 
victim services programs, if they exist, or from women in the community 
to be served describing their participation in developing the plan. The 
goal of the planning process should be to achieve better coordination 
and integration of law enforcement, prosecution, courts, probation, and 
victim services--the entire tribal justice system--in the prevention, 
identification, and response to cases involving violence against women.
