The primary purpose of VOCA grants is to provide funding for direct services to crime victims throughout Indiana. Services are defined as efforts that respond to the emotional and physical needs of crime victims; assist primary and secondary victims of crime to stabilize their lives after victimization; assist victims to understand and participate in the criminal justice system; and provide victims of crime with a measure of safety and security.
The goal of the Victim of Crime Act Program (VOCA) is to support and aid victims of crime as they move through the criminal justice system, to provide them with the assistance and services necessary to speed their recovery from a criminal act, to assist any person in Indiana who has suffered, directly or indirectly, a physical, emotional, or personal loss as a result of a criminal act, and to coordinate with other community agencies to ensure continuity of support for victims.
