Victim Assistance Program

Under the Maryland Constitution and under State laws and guidelines, a victim of a crime must be treated with dignity, respect and sensitivity during all phases of the criminal justice process. After a crime has been committed, and throughout the criminal justice process, different rights and services apply to specific victims during the periods outlined throughout this process. For assistance with your rights, refer to the Resource Section.

If you feel as though your rights as a victim have been violated please contact the Maryland State Board of Victim Services, toll free at 1-877-9CRIME2.
