1999 National Summit on Victims of Crime

In 1999, in collaboration with and funding from the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), Office of Justice Programs at the U.S. Department of Justice, the IACP held a national summit which included over 100 representatives from law enforcement, prosecutors’ offices, corrections agencies, victim service providers, health and mental health professionals, schools, researchers, crime victims and victim advocacy organizations. The summit articulated seven critical needs of crime victims including safety, access, information, support, continuity, voice and justice and created a set of recommendations and effective strategies to help meet these needs.
