Reaching out to the victims of juvenile crime in Boone and Callaway Counties
The Crime Victims’ Constitutional Amendment guarantees victims the right to information about the crime, available services, and an explanation of the criminal justice process. Extending this right to the victims of juvenile offenses is a measure which benefits the system as well as the community. Removing the aura of secrecy while protecting the confidentiality of the juvenile reduces the anger, frustration and isolation sometimes felt by the victims of juvenile crime.
The goal of the Juvenile Division is to provide the victims, at no cost, an overview of the family court process and support services such as referrals to community resources, information on the Crime Victims’ Compensation Program and courtroom tours for younger participants.
Victim referrals are received from Deputy Juvenile Officers, but may also be made directly by law enforcement and/or the victims themselves.
