(a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
(1) the United States has distinct legal, treaty, and trust
obligations to provide for the public safety of Indian country;
(2) Congress and the President have acknowledged that--
(A) tribal law enforcement officers are often the
first responders to crimes on Indian reservations; and
(B) tribal justice systems are often the most
appropriate institutions for maintaining law and order
in Indian country;
(3) less than 3,000 tribal and Federal law enforcement
officers patrol more than 56,000,000 acres of Indian country,
which reflects less than \1/2\ of the law enforcement presence
in comparable rural communities nationwide;
(4) the complicated jurisdictional scheme that exists in
Indian country--
(A) has a significant negative impact on the ability
to provide public safety to Indian communities;
(B) has been increasingly exploited by criminals;
and
(C) requires a high degree of commitment and
cooperation among tribal, Federal, and State law
enforcement officials;
(5)(A) domestic and sexual violence against American Indian
and Alaska Native women has reached epidemic proportions;
(B) 34 percent of American Indian and Alaska Native women
will be raped in their lifetimes; and
(C) 39 percent of American Indian and Alaska Native women
will be subject to domestic violence;
(6) Indian tribes have faced significant increases in
instances of domestic violence, burglary, assault, and child
abuse as a direct result of increased methamphetamine use on
Indian reservations; and
[[Page 124 STAT. 2263]]
(7) crime data is a fundamental tool of law enforcement, but
for decades the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Department of
Justice have not been able to coordinate or consistently report
crime and prosecution rates in tribal communities.
(b) Purposes.--The purposes of this title are--
(1) to clarify the responsibilities of Federal, State,
tribal, and local governments with respect to crimes committed
in Indian country;
(2) to increase coordination and communication among
Federal, State, tribal, and local law enforcement agencies;
(3) to empower tribal governments with the authority,
resources, and information necessary to safely and effectively
provide public safety in Indian country;
(4) to reduce the prevalence of violent crime in Indian
country and to combat sexual and domestic violence against
American Indian and Alaska Native women;
(5) to prevent drug trafficking and reduce rates of alcohol
and drug addiction in Indian country; and
(6) to increase and standardize the collection of criminal
data and the sharing of criminal history information among
Federal, State, and tribal officials responsible for responding
to and investigating crimes in Indian country.
