How to Get Help After A Victimizations

Domestic Violence Information

Crime Victims With Disabilities
Crime victims with disabilities often find it difficult to report crimes against them and to receive the rights and services to which they are entitled. This information provides some information on how to seek appropriate support -- and encourages victims to be persistent in ensuring that they get the help they need.

Elderly Victims in Residential Care Facilities
Older adults in residential care facilities are often dependent, and thus vulnerable to abuse and exploitation from those who have a duty to care for them. This material describes the way in which victim advocates and their social service allies are seeking to prevent such maltreatment, bring its perpetrators to justice, and bring help to its victims.
