Abstract: The National Census of Victim Service Providers (NCVSP) is jointly funded by the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) and BJS. It is part of the larger Victim Services Research program that BJS is developing to capture, on a routine basis, information about how victim service providers (VSPs) respond to criminal victimizations. The goals of the NCVSP are twofold: (1) to develop and validate a national roster of VSPs and (2) develop an understanding of the broad range of organizations that provide victim services as their primary function or through specific programs or personnel, including how they are structured, the types of services they offer, the types of crime victims they serve, the size of their staff, and funding sources and sustainability.
