addition, the DI will help build the capacity of state, local and tribal jurisdictions to improve identification of and services for high risk victims while better monitoring high-risk offenders to reduce domestic violence related homicide.

It is OVWÂ’s hope that the DI will also identify barriers to providing quality assistance and advocacy and document and disseminate solutions for replication.
