abstract="In contrast to works on victim advocacy in specific organizational contexts, this article introduces the term &quot;victim work&quot; to capture the vast array of victim-related roles and tasks that have proliferated in recent decades. Data are derived from in-depth interviews with 30 &quot;victim workers&quot; in public and private agencies in two Midwestern states. The interviews revealed diverse work experiences that spanned hotlines, crisis response, legal proceedings, and postconviction support. Three themes emerged that characterize &quot;victim work&quot;: flexibility, emotions, and the challenge of &quot;fit&quot;-the multifaceted difficulties of interacting with victims and agents of the justice system. Based on the findings, we offer a revised model of criminal justice vis-à-vis victims and implications for practice and future research.<br><br>© The Author(s) 2016.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
