Violent crimes against women: county task forces.

Existing law authorizes and encourages the counties to create a county task force on violent crimes against women to develop a countywide policy on violent crimes against women. Under existing law, counties that elect to establish a task force are authorized to evaluate and make recommendations regarding law enforcement issues relating to violence against women, including local government efforts to reduce violent crimes against women. This bill would require the county task force, if one is established, to evaluate and make recommendations on those law enforcement issues and would include the need for services and access to information provided in languages other than English for women who are victims of violent crime.
