2017-2018 Review of the National Office for Victims

'The National Office for Victims (NOV) was created in 2005 in response to a review of the Corrections and Conditional Release Act and the resulting 2005 Strengthening Community Safety Initiative (SCSI). Its purpose was to provide a single point of contact for public enquiries and complaints for victims of federal offenders, as well as to coordinate on policy, communications, and information development with the Correctional Service of Canada and the Parole Board of Canada.
