SUMMARY - Emotional and Psychological Support
A sexual assault survivor attends trial and describes the attack in detail, then receives a pamphlet listing counseling resources with months-long waitlists. A parent whose child was killed waits years for the case to conclude, experiencing each court delay as renewed trauma with no therapeutic support to navigate the process. Someone victimized by a violent crime receives excellent medical care for physical injuries but no follow-up for nightmares, hypervigilance, and inability to return to normal life.
