This Victim/Witness Grant Program Codebook has been designed by the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) in accordance with the Office of Justice Programs Performance Measurement Tool requirements for federal Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) funded victim/witness programs. We hope that victim/witness staff will find it useful when completing the Quarterly Progress Report. This may also be a functional resource for newly created programs or project directors, or localities funded to start a victim/witness program.
New employees and volunteers of Victim Witness Programs will find that this Codebook provides a comprehensive explanation of the role of victim/witness programs and services provided under the Virginia Crime Victim and Witness Rights Act (ยง19.2-11.01).
Please reference the instructions to generate the quarterly progress report here: https://www.dcjs.virginia.gov/sites/dcjs.virginia.gov/files/publications/victims/vsdcssubgranteeexpandedinstructions.pdf
Program staff who need technical assistance with VSDCS to generate a quarterly progress report, should contact their assigned Grant Monitor as soon as possible.
We hope these materials are helpful and informative. If you have suggestions for corrections, additions, or deletions, please contact the Victim Witness Grant Program Coordinator or VictimsServicesTA@dcjs.virginia.gov for enhancement requests.
