Preferred term

victim support groups  

Definition(s)

  • Victim support groups provide victims of crime with various forms of emotional, physical, and practical aid. With the rise of the victims' rights movement, society has become more aware of the devastation that occurs to the victim of a crime and the intervention that must occur to repair and reintegrate the victim's sense of being.
