Studying the Effects of Services for Victims in Crisis

Robert C. Davis

Crisis intervention programs for victims have grown rapidly, but with little hard data to demonstrate their effectiveness. This study attempted to examine the effects of services on victims' psychological and material adjustment. Although substantial recovery occurred for all victims in the first three months postcrime, there was no evidence that recovery was any greater for victims who received services than for those who did not.
