Analysis of Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) Grant Awards, 2005 and 2006

Abstract

This report provides an assessment of ICJI’s VOCA grant program. This VOCA grant program assessment was based on four primary information sources: (a) reviews of federal data; (b) information on VOCA grants provided by ICJI in the form of control spreadsheets that contain various data (including agency, agency type, location of subgrantee, grant amounts, starting and ending dates, previous grant numbers, counties served, program title, implementing agency, etc.); (c) the analysis of data drawn from two 2005 semi-annual and one semi-annual 2006 VOCA Performance Reports (VPR) submitted by subgrantees to ICJI, then forwarded to the OVC; and (d) the detailed examination of grant application and reporting data submitted by 12 VOCA subgrantees in 2005 and 2006 to ICJI.
