STANDARDS FOR PROVIDING SERVICES FOR victims of sexual assault
New Jersey recognizes the importance of developing a model for providing services that treats sexual assault victims with respect, sensitivity, and understanding, so as to best promote healing for the victim and improve the identification and collection of evidence in all cases of sexual assault. Dignified and compassionate services are essential elements when creating an environment in which victims feel safe asking for support; and well-organized services ensure that these critical support systems are easily accessible by all victims. The Attorney General Standards for Providing Services to Victims of Sexual Assault (Standards) were developed to implement a set of protocols that prioritize the needs and concerns of sexual assault victims to ensure services are delivered in a timely and non-judgmental manner. This victim-centered approach includes:
- ensuring the victim’s safety is the top priority;
- respecting the integrity, choices, and autonomy of each victim;
- protecting the victim’s privacy and confidential information;
- identifying and responding to the obstacles some victims may face when seeking help; and
- recognizing the importance of victim feedback in improving responses to sexual assault.
