This week is Crime Victims’ Rights Week and on the list of the rights of crime victims is the right to be reasonably protected from the accused. While there are many measures in place stating the rights of a victim of crime, Judy Kile with COPE Domestic Violence Agency says, more can be done…..
Education of those involved in responding to, and investigating is necessary for change to happen….
Kile said it’s important for those responders to be “Trauma-Informed” to better help victims of crime, and it’s the agency’s responsibility to educate themselves about how to respond to the trauma inflicted on a victim.
