Item Identifying high-risk, underserved victim populations - Findings infographic(Justice Research and Statistics Association, 2021) Murray, Christine; Bunch, Rick; Craig, Mark; McIntyre, John; Protctor, Mike; Jones-Marshall, Andrea; Barr, RobertThe Cleveland County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) Victim Services program was established in January 2020, with funding from the Office for Victims of Crime. In order to establish the sustainability of the program after the initial grant funding period ends, the CCSO will need to provide evidence to the Cleveland County Government that the program is effectively meeting the needs of victims throughout Cleveland County. Although approximately 465 victims of crimes resulting in CCSO incident reports were eligible to receive services from the CCSO Victim Services program from January through September 2020, to date only about 130 victims were referred for services, and of those, only about one-half received some type of service. The purpose of this project is to use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and geographic analyses to identify underserved populations by examining gaps between the victims served by the CCSO Victim Services Program and the population of violent crime victims in the general population of Cleveland County. The focus will be on all violent crimes reported in Cleveland County through law enforcement incident reports during the 2020 calendar year, which was the first year of operation of the CCSO Victim Services Program. A demographic profile with descriptive statistics for each identified high-risk/underserved region in Cleveland County will be developed. The results will inform planned activities for prevention and outreach to segments of the Cleveland County community that are most vulnerable to interpersonal violence, ultimately leading to providing more effective services to a greater number of victims.Item Identifying High-Risk, Underserved Victim Populations - Original Infographic(Justice Research and Statistics Association, 2021) Murray, Christine; Bunch, Rick; Craig, Mark; McIntyre, John; Proctor, Mike; Jones-Marshall, Andrea; Barr, RobertThe Cleveland County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) Victim Services program was established in January 2020, with funding from the Office for Victims of Crime.
