Definition(s)
- Enacted in October 1984, the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) fundamentally changed the way the United States responds to crime victims by providing ongoing federal support for services and programs that help victims rebuild their lives. VOCA established the Crime Victims Fund to sustain a substantial infrastructure of services and financial assistance to victims of all kinds of crime.
