Item Assessing crime victims languages to enhance victim services - Final report(Justice Research and Statistics Association, 2021-08) Brockton Police Department; Curry College; Kendall, Rebecca; Stearn, AdamThis project proposes to construct a framework of promising practices for the Brockton Police Department (BPD) to follow in building a Victim Assistance Program (VAP) with a robust language access plan and service provision strategy that provides the greatest benefit to the most crime survivors. This careful construction is essential for long-term operation that will require proof of cost-effectiveness for sustainability. Following an initial needs assessment regarding language access, service provision, and available resources, a two-stage process of literature and case study review will be used by Curry. First, a general review of crime victim advocacy programs' language access plans and service provision will be conducted to determine promising practices. A more targeted review of case studies from jurisdictions similar in size and/or demographic makeup to Brockton will follow with qualitative interviews of other agencies to be conducted when appropriate. The case studies will be pieced together to show the promising practices most relevant to the BPD's VAP structure and the community it serves. Combining the data from both stages, Curry will present examples of well-rounded victim service provision plans using promising practices and robust language access plans that the BPD will use to build a victim-centered outreach and assistance strategy stressing resource maximization and sustainability post-LEV award. While the deliverables from this proposal most benefit the BPD, the project will provide an evidence-based foundation upon which Curry and the BPD can build to create a lasting partnership.Item Assessing Crime Victims' Languages to Enhance Victim Services - Infographic(Justice Research and Statistics Association, 2021-08) Brockton Police Department; Curry College; Kendall, Rebecca; Stearn, AdamThis project proposes to construct a framework of promising practices for the Brockton Police Department (BPD) to follow in building a Victim Assistance Program (VAP) with a robust language access plan and service provision strategy that provides the greatest benefit to the most crime survivors.
