This annotated bibliography collects research and evaluations of technology-facilitated services for crime victims.

Abstract

Victim service providers have been using technologies such as automatic notification systems, online education, and chat to assist crime victims and increase organizations’ efficiency. The COVID-10 pandemic and subsequent stay-at-home order have increased the need to implement more virtual options to maintain services during disasters and to increase contact with victims.

Listings are under topics that include using technology to provide information about violence and abuse (three listings); virtual screening, assessment, and counseling (four listings); ongoing communication with victims (five listings); collaboration and referrals (two listings); and additional resources (four listings). Online access is provided to the Center for Victim Research’s (CVR’s) Library Annotated Bibliographies.
