State Crime Victim Numbers (Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault)
This list provides state-wide phone numbers for crime victim compensation agencies, which can provide information on applying for reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by victims or survivors in the aftermath of a crime. The list also include administrative phone numbers for state domestic violence and sexual assault coalitions.

This list provides Web site addresses for state victim coalitions (or networks). These coalitions are groups of victim assistance professionals and agencies that work together to improve the quantity and quality of victim services in a state.

Our Favorite New Printed Materials
This list provides suggested reading materials on a variety of victim-related topics, as recommended by NOVA staff and board members, as well as others who contact us to report on a new book or document of interest in the field. Generally, these are materials that are new enough not to be included in the bibliography or citations of a NOVA textbook (such as the basic victim assistance textbook Frontiers and Fundamentals or the National Community Crisis Response Team Training Manual) or they are known “classics” in the field.
