FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: SHEILA JERUSALEM, 202-598-0793    THURSDAY, MARCH 11, 2021 SHEILA.JERUSALEM@OJP.USDOJ.GOV                    ******PUBLICATION ADVISORY******   NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF JUSTICE EXAMINES VICTIM-OFFENDER ACCESS TO SUPPORT SERVICES             WASHINGTON – The Office of Justice Programs' National Institute of Justice today published an article examining victim-offender overlap, a split existence that occurs when the same individual is both a victim of violent crime and a violent offender. Past research has mainly focused on the influences and effects on the victim-offender, but recent research sponsored by NIJ has found that the inability of victim-offenders to connect with victim support services can have profound consequences for victims and communities as well.             The research described in this article was funded by NIJ through a grant awarded to Temple University. This article is based on the grantee final report "The Victim-Offender Overlap: Examining Police and Service System Networks of Response among Violent Street Conflicts", by C. Roman, C. Harding, H. Klein, L. Hamilton, and J. Koehnlein.         TITLE: The Victim-Offender Overlap: One Class of Crime Victim Rarely Seeks or Receives Available Services     AUTHOR: National Institute of Justice     WHERE: https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/victim-offender-overlap-one-class-crime-victim-rarely-seeks-or-receives-available     To receive notifications of new NIJ publications, register here.
