Knowledge To Action Research and Consulting (KTA) were commissioned by the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) via open and fair competition to undertake two rapid evidence assessment (REAs) covering Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and peer support interventions, specifically within the context of supporting victims of crime and enhancing outcomes such as coping, resilience, and recovery.
The primary objective of this project was to synthesise the key existing evidence on the effectiveness, delivery methods, and associated costs of these interventions, while also identifying how these factors interact with different victim characteristics and the specific needs of victim populations.
The research aimed to provide insights into the applicability and outcomes of these interventions in enhancing victim recovery and resilience, and in turn, enhance the evidence base on the overall effectiveness and coordination of victim support services.
