Making better data available to policymakers and practitioners can lead to more equitable crime victim support, including direct victim compensation and other services. The research provides recommendations to help practitioners have more confidence in cost estimates, use cost estimates to answer policy and practice questions, and describe cost estimates to others.             The research described in this article was funded by NIJ through a grant awarded to the Justice Research and Statistics Association. The article is based on the report "Estimating the Financial Costs of Crime Victimization, Executive Summary" by Kristina Lugo and Roger Przybylski   TITLE: Estimating the Financial Costs of Crime Victimization: Study Delineates Research Needs to Inform Victim Services Policies, Programs     AUTHOR: National Institute of Justice     WHERE: https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/estimating-financial-costs-crime-victimization-study-delineates-research-needs     To receive notifications of new NIJ publications, register here.
