Attorney General Dustin McDaniel announced today that the Arkansas Crime Victims
Reparations Board awarded $219,952.84 to victims of crime in April. Awards were
made in 132 new cases, with additional expenses paid in six previously submitted
cases.
Victims of violent crime in Arkansas are eligible
to receive reparations from the state’s Crime Victims Reparations Program to
compensate for unexpected expenses as a result of the crime. Victims may receive
funding for medical treatment, mental health counseling, lost wages or other
related costs.
The Arkansas Crime Victims Reparations Board
determines which claims are eligible for payment and how much money will be
awarded to each claimant. McDaniel’s office administers the Crime Victims
Reparations Program.
In 2012, the Board awarded a total of
$3,930,971.02 in reparations.
Established by the General Assembly in 1987, the
Crime Victims Reparations Program is funded through court costs and fees. A
portion of the funding comes from fines assessed to convicted criminals.
Members of the Crime Victims Reparations Board are
Dr. Janice Church, Bryce Brewer and Alex Finger, all of Little Rock, Colleen
Nick of Alma and Louis Jones of Fayetteville.

Reparations Program, call the Crime Victims Hotline at (800) 448-3014 or visit
