Victim Advocacy

The Prosecutor’s message to victims of crime

With compassion and respect, we assist and guide victims of crime and their families through the often confusing and unfamiliar world of the criminal justice system.  We provide awareness and education to victims and their families, as well as the general community, and support legislative and social reforms beneficial to victims.

Victim advocacy

At the Delaware County Prosecutor’s Office, we recognize that being a victim in the criminal justice system can be a difficult journey. As such, we offer a Victim Assistance Program.

The goal of our Victim Assistance Program is to provide services to crime victims so that victims have a “voice” in the criminal justice system. We provide information concerning resource referral, crime victim rights, court hearings, compensation, restitution, and victim impact statements. Also, our Victim Advocates can accompany victims to court proceedings and provide emotional support. We encourage you to read this booklet so that you will have an idea of what to expect regarding your case and how our victim advocates might help.

We believe any questions or concerns you may have about your case are important and we are willing to talk to you about them. You are welcome to call or make an appointment to come speak with us about these questions or concerns.
