The Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC) is legislatively charged with eleven areas of criminal justice coordination. Among those responsibilities is to serve as the statewide clearinghouse for criminal justice information and research; develop criminal justice legislative and executive policy proposals; and serve in an advisory capacity to the Governor on issues impacting the criminal justice system.In addition, CJCC has been designated as the State Administrative Agency for numerous federal formula and competitive grant programs. Currently, CJCC plans and administers tens of millions of dollars in federal criminal justice and victim services grants from the United States Department of Justice as well as state grant programs funded by the Georgia General Assembly.As CJCC administers programs providing direct services to victims of crime, it is a natural fit that it also administers the Georgia Crime Victims Compensation Program (CVCP). Established by the State Legislature in 1988, the CVCP offers financial support to innocent victims of violent crimes and encourages greater victim participation in the criminal justice process. Crimes covered under the CVCP, among others, include: homicide, sexual assault, commercial sexual exploitation of minors, domestic violence, assault/battery, vehicular homicide and DUI/DWI.
