In every country around the world, crime occurs, and when it does, victims suffer physical injury, emotional pain, and financial loss. Crime victim compensation programs provide desperately needed financial assistance to help victims pay some of the costs resulting from the crime such as uninsured medical and mental health counseling expenses, lost wages, and funeral expenses. The lists contact information for victim compensation programs located in 29 countries including the U.S. and the District of Columbia. We hope that you will use the Directory to help link victims with the resources they need and deserve in the aftermath of crime. Federal law requires U.S. compensation programs to provide benefits to State residents who are injured or killed by a terrorist attack while visiting a foreign country. States are not required, however, to pay benefits when the crime is not a terrorist act. Consequently, most States do not offer Victims any compensation for other crimes occurring outside the U.S. 'It is, therefore, imperative that advocates inform crime victims that some foreign countries have crime victim compensation programs, and that in some cases, victims may be eligible to receive benefits from the country where the crime occurred.'
