The legislature hereby finds domestic violence to be a problem of enormous magnitude and tragic consequence that scars the lives of its victims, destroys family integrity and leads to injury or death of many innocent people in our state. The legislature declares that New York state is committed to helping families affected by violence to overcome the indignity and pain they suffer and is dedicated to preventing such violence from claiming new victims. The legislature further declares that the office for the prevention of domestic violence created heretofore by executive order should be established within the executive department as a statutory office to respond to this statewide problem, to evaluate, improve and strengthen the vice system, to coordinate the efforts of the public agencies which provide services or funding of services, and to provide centralized training, technical assistance, education and outreach. ser The legislature hereby finds and declares that establishment of programs designed to help batterers end their violent behavior is essential in the effort to end domestic violence and that the establishment of such programs is in the public interest and to the benefit of all persons in this state.

The legislature therefore finds that a project should be established, the goal of which is to create programs in several communities in such manner as to assure that batterers programs are part of a community continuum of services that responds to local needs; and that such continuum of services should include approved residential programs for victims of domestic violence, community coalitions to facilitate coordination and cooperation between agencies and services addressing domestic violence, education and outreach efforts on domestic violence, an established and viable referral system for victims of domestic violence and batterers, and an established and viable system of accountability to the judiciary and to the state concerning efforts to help batterers end their violent behavior.
