Authors:	Victoria
Keywords:	Service provision;Policy;Interagency work
Year:	2002
Publisher:	Department of Justice, Victoria : Melbourne
Notes:	Reviews the range of services available to victims of crime in Victoria and finds service delivery to be fragmented and poorly coordinated, particularly in rural and regional Victoria and for victims of certain types of crime, such as stalking or unreported crime. The outcomes of this overall lack of coordination include: inconsistent service standards; a lack of standard referral protocols between service providers; differing approaches to service providers’ accreditation (especially in counselling services); a lack in coordinated research into the most effective responses to meeting victims’ needs; and a general lack of evaluation of the effectiveness of services and of accountability for ensuring the best client outcomes.
