Crime Victim Compensation Program

The Crime Victim Compensation Program provides financial assistance to individuals who have suffered expenses due to a crime, such as medical bills, counseling, or lost wages. It aims to help victims recover economically from crimes like assault, robbery, or sexual assault, especially when the perpetrator cannot be held responsible or is unidentified. The program typically requires victims to report the crime promptly and cooperate with law enforcement. Eligibility and benefits vary by jurisdiction, but the goal is to reduce the financial impact of crime on victims and support their recovery.
