How would Parallel Justice enhance existing services for victims in Vermont?
Government agencies and community-based organization will: • Address the short and long-term needs of victims by assessing their capacity to meet those needs and modifying their policies and practices to meet the needs of victims. • Marshal resources to expand services that historically have not served victims as a priority population, such as transportation, housing and childcare. • Mobilize the community through a multi-tiered, media campaign. • Create a board of key city and state officials and service providers who have the authority to respond to individual crime victim’s specific needs.
