Criminal Justice Professional Three Key Roles and Responsibilities Regarding Victims Potential Consequences to Victims of Not Meeting These Responsibilities Law Enforcement  Receive emergency calls.  Interview parties.  Possibly make arrests. The status of a victim in a criminal incident can go from bad to worse if law enforcement does not take the emergency call, immediately respond to the incident, and not catch the suspect. By not responding immediately the suspect can disappear, and the victim will not find swift justice. Prosecution  Effective guidance of court proceedings.  Informing the victim of rights.  Using evidence to seek justice for the victim. Most victims are not aware of what needs to happen after they were a victim of a crime. Prosecutors need to communicate effectively with the victim. They need to know their rights, and how to contribute to the justice system. If not, the victim will be clueless in the proceedings and ultimately not receive the justice they deserve.

Parole Agencies  Enforcing no-contact and/or protective orders.  Providing information about safety concerns in a release plan.  Referrals to community- or systems-based victim advocacy programs. Parole agencies can help the victim by keeping the offender behind bars if strict requirements are not met. This maintains the safety of the victim outside of the prison.
