Points of view or opinions stated in this publication are those of the Commission on Victim Witness Assistance of the National District Attorneys Association and do not necessarily represent the official position of the United States Department of Justice. INTRODUcrION The following National Resource Directory of Victim Witness Assistance Services has been cOJ:Iy?iled by the Canmission on Victim Witness Assistance in order to provide essential information to Prosecutors and other criminal justice or social service agencies which presently operate, or wish to operate, some form of Victim witness Assistance Program. Prosecutors who are members of the National District Attorneys Associa­ tion Commission on ViCtirrl Witness Assistance are indicated on the following pages by an asterisk . Fifty-five Prosecutors are so identified as IreIUbers of the Com­ mission on Victim Witness Assistance. - One hundred thirty-three individual Victim Witness Assistance Programs are identified in this Directory. Eighty-four of those programs operate out of Prosecutors I Offices. An additional forty-nine programs operated by other govern­ rrental or social service agencies are also listed. The programs contained in this Directory operate in thirty-five separate states and the Directory is arranged alphabetically by state. This Directory will be widely circulated to District Attorneys and to other criminal justice agencies across the country. If you operate a Victim Witness Assistano:· Program which is not listed in this Directory or if you know of Victim Witness Assistance Programs which are not listed, please write to the National District Attorneys Association Commission on Victim witness Assistance so that the Directory can be brought up-to-date. We hope that this Directory "vill be a useful resource for prosecutors who desire to establish victim witness assistance services. Directors of new programs or programs which are not listed in this Directory and Directors of listed programs which have changed addresses, phone numbers, etc., should refer to the special forms on pages 75 and 76. We \\QuId request that these forms, when appropriate, be completed and mailed to the Commission so that we can continue to maintain a comprehensive listing and Direc­ tory of operating Victim Witness Assist.ance Programs. The Commission on Victim Witness Assistance decided not to list within this Directory programs dealing exclusively in the areas of rape or child abuse. Excellent existing- national organizations can provide full program information in these areas.
