Minnesota Crime Victim Needs Assessment and Gap Analysis Report

​The Minnesota Office of Justice Programs (OJP) began work on a statewide crime victim needs assessment in 2019 to gather information about current services available to crime victims and the gaps to be filled to ensure their equitable access across the state. In 2020, OJP contracted with ACET, Inc., to complete the needs assessment. The Minnesota Crime Victim Needs Assessment report was completed in August 2021.​
