Description

This volume focuses on the immediate and short term psychosocial needs of crime victims and on specific services and treatment programmes developed to meet their requirements. It discusses victim compensation, family violence intervention programmes and victim-witness assistance programmes. The text then reports on the first systematic study of the organizational structure and functions of 184 victim service and witness assistance programmes. The book concludes by examining programmes designed to improve service delivery and lessen the trauma experienced by victims of violent crimes, including rape, domestic violence and robbery.
