Online Resource Established by Japanese Law Enforcement for Assistance to Crime Victims
The Japanese National Police Agency has introduced a new portal website called Gyutto Channel, aimed at providing comprehensive support to crime victims.
Gyutto Channel, named after the NPA's symbol for crime victim support, offers a range of resources and services tailored to meet the needs of victims and those who support them.
One of the key features of the website is its search function, which allows victims to find appropriate support based on the type of crime that has affected them. Whether it's murder, stalking, or another form of crime, victims can find the help they need by answering a checklist of concerns.
The website also provides a list of support services that differ by municipality. It includes contact details for private support organizations, ensuring that victims can find local help when they need it most.
For those interested in learning more about victim psychology, trauma, and related topics, Gyutto Channel offers 36 free educational videos. These videos are based on expert knowledge and materials from the ministries of justice and education.
It's worth noting that the videos on the website are not advertisements and are not repeated from earlier information. The videos are designed to help crime victims and are free to access.
The creation of Gyutto Channel is a response to comments that the previous introduction to support on the NPA homepage was difficult to understand. By offering a more accessible and user-friendly platform, the website aims to improve upon the previous introduction and provide a more comprehensive resource for crime victims.
Overall, Gyutto Channel is an invaluable resource for crime victims and those who support them. Its features improve accessibility to tailored information and resource connections, making it easier for victims to find the help they need.
