The purpose of the Crime Victims Compensation Act is to provide a method of compensation for victims of violent crime. An arrest of the offender does NOT have to take place in order to be eligible to file a claim; however, the victim and/or claimant is expected to fully cooperate in the apprehension, investigation, and prosecution of the perpetrator.
