Abstract
Findings in this report are based on the 2019 National Survey of Victim Service Providers (NSVSP), which examined a representative sample of VSPs from the roster developed for the 2017 National Census of Victim Service Providers. (See Methodology.) From May to November 2019, the NSVSP gathered information on the characteristics and functions of VSPs and the types of victims they served. Data were also collected on the services that victims commonly sought and found difficult to obtain locally, as well as the types of agencies that referred victims to VSPs. VSPs reported information from their most recent 12 months of calendar year or fiscal year data to the survey, depending on how they operated. Therefore, the 2019 survey covers VSP operations between 2018 and 2019...A total of 3,269 eligible VSPs responded to the NSVSP, for an overall response rate of 57.7%.
