Data Basics for Victim Advocates: An Overview of Victim-Related Data Issues

Training Overview

Victim advocates encounter “data practices” issues on a routine basis—from protecting the confidences of their clients to instructing victims on how to get a copy of their police report to taking steps to minimize the victim information being displayed in court records.

This webinar, presented by the Minnesota Office of Justice Programs, will provide an overview of the basic statutory provisions that apply to crime victims and advocates, and it will answer some of the common questions related to accessing, withholding, and protecting crime victim data. In addition, the presenter will discuss court rules that dictate public access to case record information and the accessibility of victim information through the court’s online access systems.
