Agencies that receive Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) funds also have complimentary access to the Center's collection subscription-based journal articles. Visit the Center for Victim Research Registration page and then click on “VOCA-Funded Agencies.” Once you are registered as a VOCA-Funded Agency, you will be able to search for both open-access and subscription resources.

Begin by reviewing the Human Trafficking Task Force e-Guide, an online guide that provides practical information on the creation and day-to-day operations of anti-human trafficking task forces, along with recent case examples. It includes strategies for strengthening multidisciplinary collaboration and enhancing victim identification as well as strategies for victim-centered investigation and prosecution.
The e-Guide is regularly updated with new tools, trainings, resources, and more case examples. The e-Guide is the result of a partnership between the Department of Justice's Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) and Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA).
OVC will provide funding for the following activities:
Crisis response assistance.
Consequence management assistance.
Criminal justice support assistance.
Crime victim compensation assistance.
These activities are intended to complement services that are available from other agencies and organizations as well as to provide a base level of assistance for terrorism and mass violence victims.
Funding for services and other support may include activities that are deemed necessary and essential to providing services and are not limited to the assistance categories listed above. In addition, a limited amount of available funding, as agreed upon by OVC and the applicant, may be used for administrative purposes deemed necessary and essential to the delivery of services and assistance to victims.
View pages 6–8 of the AEAP solicitation for further details about the types of services that are allowable.
Questions can be directed to the OVC Antiterrorism and Emergency Assistance Program by email to [email protected] or you can call the main OVC number (800–363–0441 or 202–307–5983) and ask to be directed to someone who can assist you. You can also send questions to the following address:

The Office for Victims of Crime uses AEAP to help jurisdictions respond to victims’ immediate and ongoing needs in the aftermath of mass violence or domestic terrorism. This funding can compensate and assist victims of terrorism and mass violence that occur within the United States.
OVC will conduct a thorough review of each AEAP application; however, due to the unique nature of each incident and the complex nature of the application and the application review process, OVC cannot provide a specific timeframe.
OVC is aware of the critical role AEAP funding can provide to communities and will work as quickly and efficiently as possible in its review of every application. Applicants will be notified as soon as possible after the review process has been completed.
The amount of Antiterrorism and Emergency Assistance Program (AEAP) funding awarded is decided on a case-by-case basis considering factors such as the availability of other resources (including Victims of Crime Act formula grant dollars); the severity of the impact; and the number of people suffering from physical, emotional, and psychological injury. Requests for funding must identify all other federal and nonfederal contributions (cash or in-kind).
If amounts awarded are not expended by the end of the grant period, they must be returned to OVC for deobligation.
Antiterrorism and Emergency Assistance Program applications are accepted only from the jurisdiction in which the crime occurred unless a compelling justification can be provided to the OVC Director that supports requests from other jurisdictions or a statute establishes a special authorization and appropriation for allocations to be made to other jurisdictions.
