Victim Support Services
Supporting victims is an important part of our mission.
There are two main ways that crime victims receive support through the Community Justice Center.
Parallel Justice for Victims of Crime
If a crime occurred in Burlington after July 1, 2006, victims may receive support from Parallel Justice, an award-winning project in Burlington that serves as a ntaionl model of a better way to meet crime victims' needs in the immediate wake of crime. You can receive assistance from Parallel Justice even if the crime was not reported to the police. To find out more, you can contact Rain Banbury at (802) 264-0764 rbanbury@burlingtonvt.gov
Victim Liaisons for Restorative Panels
If the person who committed the crime has been referred to the Community Justice Center to go through a restorative process (either by the court as part of their sentence - called Reparative Probation) or by a police officer or school resource officer directly, a Victim Liaison may contact you to be sure your input is included, if you want it to be. If you have any questions, or are wondering if a case in which you were a victim has been referred to the CJC, please contact Barbara Shaw-Dorso, the Victim Liaison Coordinator (802) 264-0765 or bshawdorso@burlingtonvt.gov
