advocating for victim services
Write a letter to your governor or local lawmakers, articulating the needs and services for victims to policy makers in such a way that they can and will develop a plan of action to make modern victim services a reality. You can use real life examples of victim’s sufferings, a cost benefit model, or both, but your letter should make a convincing case on behalf of victims.
The Assignment (2–3 pages):
- Explain the services currently available in your state (Virginia) for the victim you selected in the Discussion.
- Explain services not available in your state that might be beneficial for the victim, or recommend revisions or enhancements to existing services.
- Using the sample provided, create a letter to the governor of your state or local lawmakers explaining what services should be available and explain why.
