Abstract

Victims of crime often experience negative physical, emotional, and financial consequences. It is essential to understand the various needs of victims and how different types of services can most effectively support them. There are a range of programs and services available for victims, but how do we know what works for whom and what is most effective? Although stakeholders may implement programs with the best intentions, using seemingly reasonable approaches, programs may ultimately have no effect on victims or even cause them unanticipated harm.
