Product Description
This 25-minute video shares victim perceptions and opinions about the justice system, victim needs and concerns, and how the justice system can best reduce victim trauma and respond to victim needs. The video and its companion discussion guide (NCJ 193089, not included) are valuable training tools for all service providers and other professionals who want or need to better understand the impact of violent crime on victims.
For over 30 years, the voices of victims have had a significant impact on how victims' rights, needs and concerns are addressed by our criminal and juvenile justice systems, and our society as a whole. When we listen and learn from the personal experiences of victims of crime, we gain a better understanding of victim trauma and victim needs, and how we can offer effective assistance to them in the aftermath of crime.
