Victims of gang violence often have special concerns about safety. The gang victim advocates can help provide information on safety plans, relocation and lock replacement, as well as crisis referrals and support. Many victims of crime are new arrivals to this country. Services such as interpreters, printed materials in languages other than English and courtroom support have become a routine part of the advocacy. Support and crisis referrals are two of the services frequently needed by victims of crime.
Victims of crime are often in shock, confused, angry or afraid.
