OVC anticipates that this report will catalyze important first steps in the strategic direction and focus of the victim assistance field. The Vision 21: Transforming Victim Services Final Report discusses: •Major challenges to the integration of research into victim services. •The tremendous need for crime victims to have access to legal assistance to address the wide range of legal issues that can arise following victimization. •The impact of advances in technology, globalization, and changing demographics on the victim assistance field. •The capacity for serving victims in the 21st century and some of the infrastructure issues that must be overcome to reach that capacity. Furthermore, the final report outlines recommendations for beginning the transformative change, which fall into the following four broad categories: •Conducting continuous rather than episodic strategic planning in the victim assistance field to effect real change in research, policy, programming, and capacity building. •Supporting research to build a body of evidence-based knowledge and generate, collect, and analyze quantitative and qualitative data on victimization, emerging victimization trends, services and behaviors, and victims’ rights enforcement efforts. •Ensuring the statutory, policy, and programmatic flexibility to address enduring and emerging crime victim issues. •Building and institutionalizing capacity through an infusion of technology, training, and innovation to ensure that the field is equipped to meet the demands of the 21st century. With this information, OVC and the field will be better equipped to ensure that all victims of crime receive access to appropriate services delivered by skilled, compassionate professionals and are afforded the legal rights to which they are entitled. Equipped with the information in the report, we have an opportunity to turn today’s bright new vision into tomorrow’s reality for all victims of crime in this country.
