| dc.description.abstract | In 2002, OVC funded Promising Practices in Serving Crime Victims with Disabilities (hereafter referred to as Promising Practices), a 3-year discretionary cooperative agreement…to improve the local response of criminal justice personnel and victim service providers to people with disabilities…The goal was to promote innovative practices, principles, and community partnerships that would strengthen the ability of victim assistance organizations to provide accessible and relevant services to crime victims with a wide range of disabilities… Each of the subgrantees completed a community needs assessment that included protocols and questionnaires for surveys, individual interviews, and focus groups tailored to the location and cultural profile of the project area… The assessment results revealed much about the issues and conditions creating barriers for people with disabilities in the project communities, largely in regard to crime reporting and system issues and gaps.
