Serving Victims
This section presents information about victimization, victim characteristics, and the District Attorney’s (DA) Office’s engagement with victims, witnesses, and the general community.
Why is this important? Understanding the victim population, providing effective services, and timely engagement helps develop the mutual transparency and trust needed to advance community safety and well-being.
Important Note Regarding Victim Demographic Information: Demographic information about our victims lags far behind other areas of data collection. Our office is choosing to share this information despite several known shortcomings in data collection practices so that we can track and document improvement in these processes. We are working to implement changes to our office's data collection practices to address this concern.
Indicators
Below are a set of indicators that provide additional context about serving victims. These indicators help the DA's Office ensure they are supporting crime victims with timely outreach, ensuring victims' voices are heard, and preventing future victimization.
Notes
- We are working to provide additional data regarding serving victims including race/ethnicity, age, and gender of victims.
