Support and
Assistance for Victims of Crime and Abuse
Few events in a person’s life are more traumatic than
being the victim of a crime. The immediate hardship caused by crime -
injury, loss of cash and property, fear for your safety - are often followed
by feelings of despair and hopelessness. If you live in Summit County and
are the victim of a crime, Victim Assistance Program can help you.

crime has occurred and for the long-term. For additional information on any
