The purpose of HFCC’s Crime Victim Service Center program is to provide services and support to all victims of crime, such as assault, robbery, child abuse, vehicular assault, vehicular homicide, property crime, and survivors of homicide in Washington State.

• Respond to the emotional and physical needs of crime victims.
• Assist victims of crime in stabilizing their lives after victimization.
• Assist victims in understanding and participating in the criminal justice system.
• Provide victims of crime with a measure of immediate safety and security.

Victims of crime may be any gender, age, race, or ethnicity. Victimization may happen to an individual, family, group, or community; and a crime itself may be to a person or property. The impact of crime on an individual victim, their loved ones, and their community depends on a variety of factors, but often crime victimization has significant emotional, psychological, physical, financial, and social consequences.
