Victims of Crime Act

The Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) is a law that provides financial assistance to individuals harmed by crimes. It collects funds from criminal fines, penalties, and other sources to support programs that help victims recover, such as counseling, medical expenses, and support services. The goal is to ensure victims receive needed aid and justice without relying solely on government budgets. VOCA emphasizes victim-centered support and works to ensure affected persons have access to resources during difficult times.
