Abstract

This brief Just the Stats report presents findings on the organizations that served victims of crime or abuse as their primary function or had dedicated staff or programs to serve victims, based on data from BJS’s National Census of Victim Service Providers, 2017. The report uses maps to display the rates of victim service providers per 100,000 residents for U.S. counties in the 50 states and the District of Columbia and the rates of victims served per 1,000 county residents. The web version of the report features interactive maps that illustrate the rates across the country.
