Where can I get additional information about ethics in victim services?
The following sources will provide additional background and information about ethical issues in assisting victims of crime: • National Victim Assistance Standards Consortium (NVASC): The Consortium was established as an ad hoc group by the Office for Victims of Crime, U.S. Department of Justice, in partnership with the University of South Carolina’s Center for Child and Family Studies. The NVASC developed a set of sixteen standards for victim assistance programs and providers. • Ethics in Victim Services: This book by Melissa Hook addresses the core ethics of the victims’ rights and services field and promotes the self-awareness necessary for effective victim services.
