About Vision 21

This initiative is expanding the vision and impact of the crime victim services field by designing a philosophical and strategic framework to define the role of the field in the country’s response to crime and move the field forward in the future.

This is an opportunity for real change in the role
of victim services.
  • Literature reviews provide a foundation for examining the current state of affairs in the crime victim services field.
  • Stakeholder input and recommendations from traditional and nontraditional arenas have been gathered to inform the transformation of the field.
  • A final report will synthesize the recommendations and set forth a strategy to redesign the victim services framework.

This is an opportunity for real change in the role of victim services in the Nation’s overall efforts to ensure the safety and well-being of communities. This is a call to action for the field.
