VICTIM NOTIFICATION AND ASSISTANCE

DJJ’s Victim Liaison helps ensure victims of juvenile offenders are properly notified upon the release of a serious offender. Juvenile records, including disposition, probation, and personal data, are kept strictly confidential; however, state law does allow for certain notifications of release to victims (see below). The DJJ Victim Liaison can assist you in navigating the process for notification.

If you are the victim of a juvenile offender and would like to receive notification of release, please e-mail the DJJ Victim Liaison at: victimliaison@djj.virginia.gov

The liaison will assist you with your request.

The DJJ Victim Liaison helps:

• Ensure victims are notified of release of any juvenile serious offender according to § 66-25.2 of the Code of Virginia
• Provide victims and witnesses with general information about the court process
• Provide information on community and statewide resources for victims and witnesses
