Justice Clearinghouse | Victim Services Unit Response to Victims and Co-Victims of Violent Crime

Training Overview

According to the National Crime Victimization Survey Dashboard (NCVS Dashboard: Quick Graphics (ojp.gov), 81% of violent victimizations in 2023 (e.g., assaults, robberies) involved non-intimate partner relationships between victims and offenders. Additionally, only an average of 9.8% of violent victimizations in 2023 included assistance from a victim services provider.

Law enforcement-based victim services often represent the most effective response to address the rights and needs of victims and co-victims of violent crime. In addition to providing direct services, law enforcement-based victim services personnel can contribute to collaborative strategies that support enhanced community trust.
