DOMESTIC VIOLENCE RESOURCE PROSECUTOR The position of Domestic Violence Resource Prosecutor (DVRP) is funded through a grant from the United States Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). Currently, there are ten DVRP’s throughout the United States. The purpose of the DVRP is to increase the capacity of prosecutors across the State of Oklahoma to more effectively prosecute domestic violence cases. Domestic violence prosecutors often have the difficult task of balancing offender accountability with victim safety. By using effective prosecution strategies in domestic violence cases, prosecutors can achieve both. The DVRP will provide:
The DVRP can assist prosecutors to become involved and even take lead roles in their local Coordinated Community Response teams. Combating domestic violence is not confined to the prosecution of offenders. Therefore, the DVRP will not only strengthen prosecution, but work to ensure that prosecutors cooperate with community agencies and organizations to diminish negative effects on victims prior to and beyond the criminal justice system.
