About the
agencies that
created this DVD
and brochure . . .
The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) was
established by the 1984 Victims of Crime Act
to oversee diverse programs that benefit
victims of crime. OVC provides substantial
funding to state victim assistance and com-
pensation programs—the lifeline services
that help victims to heal. The agency also
supports trainings designed to educate crim-
inal justice and allied professionals regard-
ing the rights and needs of crime victims.
OVC is one of five component bureaus and
one program office in the Office of Justice
Programs, U.S. Department of Justice.
The
National Crime Victims Research and
Treatment Center (NCVRTC) is part of the
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral
Sciences at the Medical University of South
Carolina. NCVRTC has provided quality care
for victims of crime since 1977. In addition to
direct clinical services, NCVRTC is nationally
and internationally known for its research
productivity in the areas of crime victims’
epidemiology, assessment, and treatment.
NCVRTC faculty actively participate in both
the development and evaluation of crime
victim public policy.
