"The Victims Compensation Program provides limited financial assistance to Vermont's victims of violent crime who have experienced a financial loss as a direct result of that crime, as long as that loss is not reimbursable through other sources, such as insurance. Although the crime must be reported to the police, eligibility is not dependent upon the arrest or conviction of the offender."
