Abstract
In 1995, there were approximately 9.9 violent victimizations in the United States. Victimization can lead to experiencing psychological and emotional consequences. The purpose of this study was to examine how the needs of violent crime victims are met and the success of these efforts. The services available to victims of violent crime, use by this population was also examined, usefulness of these services and the satisfaction of victims and witnesses with the criminal justice system were also examined. This instrument was used with the Survey of Law Enforcement and Survey or Volunteers and Staff, which are included in the attached report. The Criminal Justice Research Division of the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) conducted surveys and interviews crime victims, law enforcement officers, and other victims’ service providers in the San Diego area. A total of 718 victims and witnesses participated in the initial survey and 330 were re contacted for a follow up six months later. (CVRL Abstract).
