Description

How Can Delaware Better Serve Survivors/Victims? Have you have experienced any of the following during the past 5 years: - been forced/coerced to engage in sexual activity that you didn’t want to? - had something of value taken from you by force or threat of force? - been shot, stabbed, beaten up, hit with fists or an object, or any of these attempted? - been shoved, pushed, hair pulled, or assaulted in any other way? - any of these by a partner/boy/girlfriend or ex or by another family member - lost a child, sibling, or partner violence If so, you may be able to participate in a research project to help us learn about your satisfaction with any services you may have received as the result of this victimization OR what services would have been helpful if you had known about them. If eligible, we would like to interview you about your previous and most recent victimization experiences and how they have impacted you. If you did not receive any help from either private or governmental organizations, we want to understand what factors prevented you from seeking or obtaining help. The goal of this project is to better understand the needs and experiences of crime victims/survivors in Delaware and improve victim services and supports. The interview will take about 45 minutes and participants will receive a $50 gift card for their time as a thank you. If you are 18 years of age or older, we would like to hear from you.
