Aboriginal Victims of Crime Awareness Project

 

AVCA is a predominately a research project whose main focus is to raise awareness among the Aboriginal population and among the various stakeholders about the unique needs of Aboriginal victims of crime. The project will also inform victims and those at risk of the services available to them. To this end, AVCA will develop a series of resource materials based on existing research which will be further enhanced by information obtained through the facilitation of focus groups sessions. Additional resource materials will include a poster, an information brochure, and a resource manual. The availability of culturally relevant resources for Aboriginal victims of crime and those at risk will create better accessibility to services and increase the usage of both Aboriginal specific and non-aboriginal victimization services

It is anticipated that the impacts of the AVCA project will assist in reducing the incidence and prevalence of this project is anticipated that overall victimization among Aboriginal people will be reduced as their capacity to help themselves and their loved ones increases.

In addition to this purpose it is also anticipated that as service providers and stakeholders become more informed that they will be able to better assist Aboriginal victims of crime by referring them to relevant services and by designing and delivering future services that are more relevant to the special needs of these victims.
