PCVI news

Highlights activities and program developments from several victim serving organizations across the country. More in depth, the PCVI News covers the work done by the Policy Centre for Victims Issues who work on improving and understanding the experience of victims and survivors of crime in the criminal justice system in Canada.

The newsletters follow a structure similar to the following, with some deviation depending on the issue: welcome, overview of the topic being discussed, and a transcription of an interview with an expert of key stakeholder doing work in victims services. There is also occasionally summaries of emerging victims support programs.

Some of the topics covered in the newsletters include: the Victims Fund, events from Victims and Survivors of Crime Week, assistance for families of Missing and Murdered Women and Girls, programs to prevent crime and programs available to survivors of crime, including the introduction of victims service dogs.
