Serving Crime Victims and Witnesses

The crime victims movement in the United States has grown progressively stronger over the past two decades. Serving Crime Victims and Witnesses, 2nd Edition, provides a detailed discussion of strategies for planning, implementing, and refining victim assistance programs, with examples of program operations and activities, as well as suggestions of resources for further assistance. The publication is intended primarily as a guidebook for directors and other staff of existing victim assistance programs, planners designing a new program, and agency supervisors and administrators who may wish to sponsor a program.
