The California Victim Compensation Board (CalVCB) assists victims of violent crimes. Board members of CalVCB create policy for victims and people erroneously convicted of felonies. This comprehensive guide shares a step-by-step process in how CalVCB can help victims of crime within California.
The California Victim Compensation Board is a state program dedicated to providing financial compensation for many crime-related expenses. Victims who suffer physical injury, threat of physical injury or emotional injury as a direct result of a violent crime may qualify for assistance.
CalVCB understands that financial assistance alone does not eliminate the trauma or emotional suffering of victimization, but hopes that it can relieve some of the added pressures that arise as a result of the crime.
