Office for Victims of Crime

Description

The overarching goal for this project is to expand the vision and impact of the crime victim services field. Collectively, five grantees will be selected to: (1) undertake a comprehensive analysis of the current state of the crime victims’ field in the U.S., with each grantee conducting a critical portion of the analysis; and (2) develop a consensus document that provides a philosophical and strategic framework for defining the role of the field in the country’s response to crime and moving the field forward in the future. The final consensus document will include recommendations to OVC and the broader victims’ field as well as a detailed blueprint for a national demonstration project (or multiple demonstration projects) focused on implementation of those recommendations.
