Abstract

This study uses data from the National Crime Victimization Survey to examine geographic variations in the receipt of victim services for victims of violence. Research has long demonstrated that there are differences in victimization risk and who is victimized across different regions and by urbanicity. Examination of these differences when it comes to victim services has not been previously examined on a national level. Findings show that geography does matter in the likelihood of receiving services, especially for victims of serious violence, and even after controlling for other factors related to the use of victim services. The implications of the findings, possible explanations for the geographic differences, limitations of the study, and opportunities for future research are discussed.

接受受害者服务的地域差异。
本研究使用来自国家犯罪受害调查的数据来检查暴力受害者在接受受害者服务方面的地理差异。长期以来的研究表明,不同地区和城市的受害风险和受害对象存在差异。在受害者服务方面,以前没有在国家一级审查过这些差异。调查结果表明,地理位置对接受服务的可能性确实有影响,特别是对严重暴力的受害者而言,甚至在控制了与使用受害者服务有关的其他因素之后也是如此。讨论了研究结果的意义、对地理差异的可能解释、研究的局限性以及未来研究的机会。
