VOCP candidates must meet the following five requirements: 1. The victim must experience a violent crime. Examples include rape, battery, domestic violence, DUI, child abuse, or elder abuse. If the victim gets killed in the crime, his/her family may be eligible for VOCP assistance. 2. The crime must be reported to law enforcement or child protective services within five (5) days of the incident. The only exception is if the victim was incapable of meeting the deadline. 3. The VOCP application must be submitted within one (1) year of the crime. If the victim is unable to file within a year, then within a reasonable time. Minor victims of sexual assault, molestation or pornography must file before reaching 21 years old. 4. Victims must not have participated in committing the crime. 5. Victims must fully cooperate with law enforcement and the VOCP.
