Remarks at the Violence Against Women Tribal Consultation 11/14/2013 10:04 AM EST Now perpetrators of domestic and dating violence will be held accountable, whether they’re Indian or non-Indian, and countless Indian women will enjoy safer lives as a result. Section 904 of VAWA 2013 recognizes the inherent power of “participating tribes” to exercise “special domestic violence criminal jurisdiction” over certain defendants, regardless of their Indian or non-Indian status, who commit acts of domestic violence or dating violence or violate certain protection orders in Indian country. www.justice.gov/iso/opa/asg/speeches/2013/asg-speech-131114.html
