Résumé
In November 2004, Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada and the Policy
Centre for Victim Issues provided a research grant to the Canadian Resource Centre for
Victims of Crime (CRCVC) to develop strategies to provide services and support victims
in cases of unsolved serious crime.
As outlined in the research proposal, the project is divided into two phases. The first
phase included the research, formulation and distribution of a detailed questionnaire to
examine the needs of victims in unsolved crime and existing services for this population.
During this initial phase, the CRCVC also hosted two roundtable meetings with key
stakeholders to further discuss the needs of victims and create potential policy
recommendations.
