Note: Does not include dedicated criminal injuries compensation programs. Percentages do not add to 100% due to multiple responses. Respondents reporting for multiple locations provided a single response which was applied to all locations. Estimates for the number of victim service providers with various characteristics may therefore be overestimated.
