As experts in these practices, victim advocates are poised to be a force for good in the criminal justice system; however, prior victim advocacy research and practice has overwhelmingly been limited to certain victims, crime types, and cases being adjudicated.

Detectives found that victim advocates (a) brought victim-centeredness to their cases, (b) aided their investigations, and (c) were of great value. The policy implications and areas of future research of this study are discussed from this research.
