Victim/Witness Services

Office Overview

At any time, anyone can become the victim or witness of a crime. Victims have no choice in becoming victims and may find themselves alone and helpless without resources. The Victim/Witness Services program was created to help with the trauma and confusion the victim suffers as a result of the commission of a crime. The Victim/Witness Services program also assists witnesses through the court process.

Victims' Rights

When someone becomes a victim of violence or crime, it can be one of the most devastating experiences of their life. The State of Pennsylvania has enacted a Victims' Bill of Rights to ensure victims are informed, protected, and supported as much as possible through the criminal and juvenile justice system, and personal recovery.

For more information on the Victims’ Bill of Rights, click here for those interested in the National Crime Victims’ Rights Week Community Awareness Project.
