Victim Funded Project VOCA funds plus match. g. Victim Services Program All services and activities offered on behalf of victims of crime, including the VOCA grant and match. VICTIMIZATION TYPES: a. Adults Sexually Abused/Assaulted as Children Adult survivors of sexual abuse and/or assault suffered while they were children. b. Adult Physical Assault Aggravated Assault: An unlawful attack by one person upon another for the purpose of inflicting severe or aggravated bodily injury. This type of assault usually is accompanied by the use of a weapon or by means likely to produce death or great bodily harm. Simple Assault: Assaults and attempted assaults where no weapon was used, or no serious or aggravated injury resulted to the victim. Intimidation, coercion, and hazing are included. c. Adult Sexual Assault Includes a wide range of victimizations; crimes that include attacks or attempted attacks generally involving unwanted sexual contact between victim and offender. Sexual assaults may or may not involve force and include such things as grabbing, fondling, and verbal threats. Also included is rape, which is defined as penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration of a sex organ by another person, without the consent of the victim; may also include penetration of the mouth by a sex organ by another person. d. Arson Any willful or malicious burning or attempting to burn, with or without intent to defraud, a dwelling house, public building, motor vehicle or aircraft, personal property of another, and so on. e.

These negative acts may be physical or verbal in nature—for example, hitting or kicking, teasing or taunting—or they may involve indirect actions such as manipulating friendships or purposely excluding other children from activities. Implicit in this definition is an imbalance in real or perceived power between the bully and victim. Examples of cyberbullying include mean text messages or e-mails; rumors sent by e-mail or posted on social networking sites; and embarrassing pictures, videos, Web sites, or fake profiles. f. Burglary The unlawful entry of a structure to commit a felony or theft. The FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program includes three subclassifications: forcible entry, unlawful entry where no force is used, and attempted forcible entry. The UCR definition of “structure” includes apartment, barn, house trailer or houseboat when used as a permanent dwelling, office, railroad car (but not automobile), stable, and vessel (i.e., ship). g. Child Physical Abuse and Neglect This may include physical abuse that is nonaccidental physical injury (ranging from minor bruises to severe fractures or death) as a result of punching, beating, kicking, biting, shaking, throwing, stabbing, choking, hitting (with a hand, stick, strap, or other object), burning, or otherwise harming a child, that is inflicted by a parent, caregiver, or other person. Such injury is considered abuse regardless of whether the caregiver intended to hurt the child. Physical discipline, such as spanking or paddling, is not considered abuse as long as it is reasonable and causes no bodily injury to the child. h. Child Sexual Abuse and Assault This may include activities such as fondling a child’s genitals, penetration, incest, rape, sodomy, indecent exposure, and exploitation through prostitution by a parent, caregiver, or other person. Includes teen sexual assault. i.

Involves a pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship that is used by one partner to gain or maintain power and control over another intimate partner. Domestic violence can be physical, sexual, emotional, economic, or psychological actions or threats of actions that influence another person. This includes any behaviors that intimidate, manipulate, humiliate, isolate, frighten, terrorize, coerce, threaten, blame, hurt, injure, or wound someone. k. DUI/DWI Incidents Driving or operating a motor vehicle or common carrier while mentally or physically impaired as the result of consuming an alcoholic beverage or using a drug or narcotic. l.

Elder abuse may include abuse that is physical, emotional/ psychological (including threats), or sexual; neglect (including abandonment); and financial exploitation. This is a general definition; state definitions of elder abuse vary. Some definitions may also include fraud, scams, or financial crimes targeted at older people. m.

Identity Theft/Fraud/Financial Crimes Identity theft occurs when someone wrongfully obtains another’s personal information without their knowledge to commit theft or fraud. Fraud and financial crimes include illegal acts characterized by deceit, concealment, or violation of trust and that are not dependent upon the application or threat of physical force or violence. Individuals and organizations commit these acts to obtain money, property, or services; to avoid the payment or loss of money or services; or to secure personal or business advantage. p. Kidnapping (Noncustodial) Occurs when someone unlawfully seizes, confines, inveigles, decoys, abducts, or carries away and holds for ransom or reward, by any person, except in the case of a minor by the parent thereof. q. Kidnapping (Custodial) Occurs when one parent or guardian deprives another of his or her legal right to custody or visitation of a minor by unlawfully taking the child. The definition and penalties of custodial kidnapping vary by state. In some states, kidnapping occurs only if a child is taken outside of the state and/or if an existing custody order is intentionally violated. In all cases, international custodial kidnapping is a federal offense. r. Mass Violence: Domestic/International An intentional violent criminal act that results in physical, emotional, or psychological injury to a sufficiently large number of people to significantly increase the burden of victim assistance and compensation for the responding jurisdiction. s.

Technical assistance refers to the development, dissemination, and delivery of specialized knowledge or expertise to an organization or group of individuals to address a problem and inform policy, procedure, or practice. Program refers to the training and/or technical assistance services and related tools, resources, and products provided. Memorandum of understanding (MOU) refers to a formal document between two or more parties that outlines their shared intentions, goals, and how they'll work together. It typically establishes mutual understanding, defines roles and responsibilities, and sets expectations for a collaborative project or organizational relationship. Strategic planning is the process where an organization defines its long-term vision, sets goals, and creates actionable strategies and resource allocations to achieve its future direction. This process creates a roadmap for turning a vision into measurable results by aligning efforts and adapting to change. It involves understanding the current situation (using tools like SWOT analysis) and outlining steps, timelines, and responsibilities for success over several years. Policy and procedures development is a structured process of creating, documenting, and implementing rules and step-by-step instructions to guide an organization's operations, ensure consistent performance, maintain compliance, and achieve strategic goals by defining what to do and how to do it. Policies and procedures provide a framework for decision-making, clarify employee roles, and promote efficiency and accountability. Standard operating procedures development is the systematic process of creating detailed, step-by-step instructions to guide employees in consistently and correctly performing routine tasks to ensure quality, efficiency, compliance, and knowledge retention across an organization. Victim advocacy training equips professionals and volunteers with the skills and knowledge to support crime victims through the justice system and recovery, typically focusing on care for youth with adverse experiences, legal rights, crisis intervention, communication, and ethics. The training prepares them to assist with legal navigation, emotional support, or resource connections for survivors and their families. Family engagement training teaches community partners the skills to build strong, respectful partnerships with families, moving beyond simple involvement to collaborative relationships. Training typically focuses on communication, cultural competence, building trust, and empowering families to be active participants in their children's recovery, and recognizes them as experts on their own children. Skills-based training is a targeted educational approach focusing on teaching specific, practical abilities needed for job performance, rather than broad theoretical knowledge. It prioritizes hands-on experience, actionable techniques, and measurable competency development to directly improve workplace proficiency and efficiency.

Effective programs prioritize the child’s voice, ensure confidentiality, provide individualized support, and use evidence-based practices for prevention and intervention. Examples of child advocacy best practices include: • Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) Approach: Coordinate efforts among child protective services, law enforcement, medical professionals, and therapists to provide a cohesive, evidence-based response to abuse, reducing the need for multiple interviews. • Trauma-Informed Care: Ensure all staff are trained in trauma-informed care and prioritize the child's psychological safety. The goal is to provide services that empower survivors without re-traumatizing them. • Child-Centered Advocacy: Validate the child's experience and ensure they feel safe and supported throughout the process; involve children and non-offending caregivers in decision-making regarding their care; and tailor advocacy to the specific and evolving needs of the family. • Prevention and Education Strategies: Can include training staff on abuse detection and implementing rigorous screening processes. • Structured Decision-Making Tools: Assess risk and inform case management to ensure consistent, high-quality care. • Family Engagement: Activities that involve parents in advocacy—particularly in early childhood programs— such as through Policy Councils. Improved program implementation involves enhancing the processes, strategies, and actions used to execute a program; using data for continuous improvement; adapting to local contexts; overcoming implementation barriers; and enhancing coordination with other organizations. This can include aligning, synchronizing, and organizing efforts, resources, and schedules to achieve shared goals or prevent conflicts in operations. Improved program implementation could also involve proactive communication and the exchange of information to ensure that different parties are on the same page regarding tasks, timelines, and responsibilities.

  • Code: Q1
  • Requirement: required
  • Definition: Answer options: o Diversion o Community service o Treatment o Support services o Other, specify: ____ Diversion interventions redirect youth away from formal processing in the juvenile justice system, while still holding them accountable for their actions. Community service is unpaid work for a community organization, or a structured work experience designed to benefit the community. Treatment interventions have broad goals of preventing crime and reducing recidivism for youth who have committed crimes. Most effective treatment interventions typically provide larger amounts of meaningful contact (treatment integrity), are longer in duration (more dosage), and offer a comprehensive approach that combines various treatments to address a person's multifaceted problems. Types of interventions vary, ranging from a focus on behaviors to skills-oriented interventions, such as therapy, counseling, or groups. Support services are typically community-based resources that support violence prevention and assist children, youth, and families who are involved in the juvenile justice system. The goals are broad but often promote the well-being and stability of program participants. Examples include mentoring or navigation of social services.

What trauma-informed services for children are funded, in whole or in part, by this OJJDP grant? Select all that apply.

  • Code: Q2
  • Requirement: required
  • Definition: Answer options: o Cognitive behavioral therapy o Psychotherapy o Crisis intervention o Family support o Other, specify: ____ Trauma-informed services recognize and respond to the impact of traumatic stress on a child and their family. This model involves understanding that trauma can affect a child's physical, emotional, and developmental health, and it emphasizes creating safety, trust, and empowerment through collaboration. Children refers to children exposed to violence. The exposure can be a direct or indirect exposure to violence in the home, school, or community—including being victims of abuse or neglect. Indirect exposure to violence means witnessing or hearing about violence directed toward others. Cognitive behavioral therapies are therapeutic approaches used to reduce recidivism by changing the thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to delinquent activity. Psychotherapy is a form of mental health treatment that uses talk therapy to help children and adolescents understand and resolve problems, modify behavior, and develop coping strategies. Therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy are tailored to young people’s developmental needs, with goals ranging from managing anxiety and improving social skills to resolving family conflicts and boosting self-esteem. The process involves a trained professional helping the young person develop a better understanding of their emotions and actions, often working with the family as well. Crisis intervention services are short-term, intensive supports designed to stabilize a child experiencing a mental health or behavioral crisis and to prevent more severe consequences, such as hospitalization or out-of-home placement. These services involve immediate assessment, de-escalation techniques, and creating safety and coping plans with the child, family, and other support systems. They are often provided through mobile teams, crisis centers, or school-based services to help restore a child's functioning and provide connections to ongoing care. Family support services are community-based resources that assist families in promoting their members' well-being and stability. Examples include counseling, peer mentoring, navigation of social services, respite care, and support for families in caring for a child with a developmental or behavioral challenge.

This can include hitting, shaking, pushing, punching, kicking, choking, burning, and the inappropriate use of physical punishment or restraint. In severe forms, it can lead to head trauma, disability, or death. Emotional violence involves persistent emotional maltreatment that causes severe and adverse effects on a child's emotional development. Examples include threatening, insulting, rejecting, ignoring, ridiculing, scaring, or constantly criticizing a child. Sexual violence involves forcing or enticing a child to take part in sexual activities that they cannot consent to or do not fully comprehend. This ranges from non-contact activities (such as exposure to pornography or grooming) to physical contact (fondling, non-penetrative acts, and rape). Bullying is unwanted aggressive behavior by another child or group of children (who are neither siblings nor in a romantic relationship) that involves repeated physical, psychological, or social harm. It can occur in schools or online (cyberbullying). Community violence refers to exposure to interpersonal violence outside of the home, which can be experienced directly, indirectly, or by witnessing it. This can include events like assaults, shootings, or fights, and the exposure is considered an environmental stressor that can have detrimental impacts on a child's mental health, behavior, and cognitive development. Domestic violence is a pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship that is used by one partner to gain or maintain power and control over another intimate partner. Domestic violence can be physical, sexual, emotional, economic, psychological, or technological actions or threats of actions, or other patterns of coercive behavior that influence another person within an intimate partner relationship. This includes any behaviors that intimidate, manipulate, humiliate, isolate, frighten, terrorize, coerce, threaten, blame, hurt, injure, or wound someone.
