National Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month (February)

On January 28, 2010, Associate Attorney General Tom Perrelli joined Senators Mike Crapo (ID), Sheldon Whitehouse (RI), and Joseph Lieberman (CT) to announce the United States Senate's unanimous passage of Senate Resolution 373, which designates February 2010 as "National Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month."
"For the first time, this crime is being commemorated as 'National Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month,' instead of a week. This is no small feat," Associate Attorney General Perrelli declared in his remarks. "The Department [of Justice] will use the month of February to raise awareness regarding teen dating violence and to provide opportunities for schools and communities to protect young people."
