North Carolina Victims of Crime Needs Assessment

In this study, we want to learn if existing services meet the needs of people who experience crime in North Carolina. Specifically, we will focus on whether these services meet the needs of crime victims from historically underserved populations. We also want to learn whether service accessibility is different across the state. Although the assessment is meant to cover all North Carolinians, the GCC and research team have identified specific priority populations, including: veterans, immigrants, refugees, people with disabilities, older adults, LGBTQ+ individuals, teens, people from religious minority groups, people who are unhoused/experiencing homelessness, co-victims of homicide, indigenous communities, people with limited English proficiency, and people of color.
