The Need
Many individuals in our community experience the traumatic effects of victimization each year and need assistance as their cases enter the criminal justice system. Our Crime Victim Witness Program was established in 1990 in response to the need to advocate for the rights of adult and child victims within the system and to ensure that they are treated with dignity and justice.

People Served
The Crime Victim Witness Program serves men, women and children who have become victims of a variety of personal injury and property crimes, including domestic violence, assault, rape, sexual abuse, stalking, manslaughter, murder, burglary, robbery, criminal trespass, criminal mischief, forgery, disorderly conduct, harassment, indecent exposure, menacing, interference with an emergency telephone call and other crimes. We also serve individuals who have been impacted by juvenile crime.

2007 Program Statistics

• 618 adults and children were served.
• 34 were crimes involved with Juvenile Court.
