Abstract

Assistance to crime victims and witnesses over the past six decades is reviewed, and data from a national sample of victim/witness assistance programs are examined in terms of functions and services. Types of services available to victims and witnesses are identified and discussed, as are fiscal characteristics and staffing patterns of the programs. The critical need for research and evaluation studies is examined.
