- W2326501233 abstract "Because of the increase in violent crimes, twelve states have enacted legislation to compensate crime victims for loss of earnings and medical expenses. Maximum benefits range from $5,000 to $45,000. Several states require the victim to demonstrate need, while other states pay benefits based on right. Experience under two programs is examined: one that requires demonstration of financial need for payment (New York) and one that does not (Hawaii). Claims payments are related to the states' population, crime rate, and claims filed. Reasons for denial are tabulated. These and other states' plans are evaluated against several socially desirable criteria. The states are becoming increasingly concerned about crime victims seriously injured from muggings, shootings, stabbings, and other violent acts. Because of this concern, twelve jurisdictions have enacted plans to compensate victims of violent crimes. Crime compensation plans presently exist in New York, California, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Alaska, Florida, Illinois, and Washington. The purposes of this paper are to analyze the basis characteristics of state crime compensation plans, to evaluate the effectiveness of present programs in reducing the economic insecurity from violent crimes, and to present recommendations for improving existing programs. The central thrust of the paper is devoted to an analysis of state crime compensation plans. The various state laws were analyzed in some detail to obtain the basic data presented in the paper. Although some attention is devoted to proposed federal legislation, the study is confined primarily to an analysis of state plans. Nature of the Problem The problem of compensating crime victims is a complex issue which is not easily resolved. Four aspects of the problem are considered here: (1) rapid increase in violent crimes, (2) substantial financial losses incurred by crime victims, (3) inadequate concern for crime victims, and (4) limitations of existing programs.

Meurer, Jr., Ph.D., is an Associate Professor of Business Administration, Saint Mary's University, San Antonio, Texas. This paper was presented at the 1974 Annual Meeting of ARIA." @default.
