The purpose of the Victim Witness program is to provide services to victims of all crimes. Historically, only victims of domestic violence and sexual assault (and the subsets of those groups – child abuse, elderly/disabled abuse, etc) were provided services at Project SAFE. In 2000, the Victim Witness program was added to provide services to those who are victims of other crimes. This program also made it possible to do victim compensation.
