The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) Victim Assistance and Victim Compensation Data Dashboards provide an overview of key performance measure data collected by OVC from the VOCA State Administrating Agencies (SAA’s) for both the Victim Assistance and Victim Compensation grant programs.
Victim Compensation Performance Measures collect data on the number of applications received, approved, and denied; types of crimes and victimizations associated with those applications; and amount of expenses paid. Victim Compensation grantees report data on all state compensation payments, including payments made with state and federal funds.
OVC utilizes this data from SAA’s to respond to data requests from other government offices, the legislature, media groups, and other stakeholders. In the hopes of further transparency and advancement in the field, OVC has made this data even more accessible through the below dynamic dashboards. Please see past static Performance Reports and the annual OVC VOCA Support to States reports page for further detailed information.
