Although recent years have witnessed the proliferation of victim-focused positions inside and outside the criminal justice system, little is known about the occupational characteristics and organizational context of this field in the United States.

The findings underscore the significance of organizational affiliation in understanding victim work, the value of strong public/private partnerships, and the necessity of reforms to the organizational culture of criminal justice agencies to optimize victim experiences.
