dc.description.abstractKey Findings In 2017, approximately 12,200 victim service providers (VSPs) operated in the United States. VSPs were defined as organizations that served victims of crime or abuse as their primary function or had dedicated staff or programs to serve victims. VSPs included organizations that identified as nonprofit or faith-based; governmental; hospital, medical, or emergency; campus; tribal; or some other type (see Victim Service Providers in the United States, 2017 (NCJ 252648, BJS, November 2019) for details). The existence of VSPs in U.S. counties ranged from a rate of 0 per 100,000 county residents to 177 per 100,000 (figure 1). For example, Harris County, Texas (which includes the city of Houston) had a rate of 1.3 VSPs per 100,000 county residents while Maricopa County, Arizona (which includes the city of Phoenix) had a rate of 2.3 per 100,000 residents.en_US
