The fight for victims' rights in Florida: The realities of social reform

The fight to establish victim rights in Florida began with a handful of dedicated practitioners, victims and survivors. They battled burnout, apathy, rejection and less than adequate funding. Power struggles arose between personalities, egos, the institutionalized governmental agencies, and funding sources. This dissertation chronicles the creation of the Florida Network of Victim Witness Services (FNVWS) as an agent of social reform, and documents the organization's evolution. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 52-08, Section: A, page: 3084. / Major Professor: Leroy C. Gould. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1991.
