ABSTRACT

I just felt that sharing,

being able to talk with

someone, people who have

actually experienced, who've

actually been crime

victims. . . . You know, you

hear about crime. I mean,

you hear it on the air, on

the television, but most

people haven't actually

experienced talking with

others who have gone through

the trauma. I think to know

that you're not alone is so

very, very important. It

gives me a sense of comfort,

and takes away some of that

sense of fear and being out

of control, as well. . . .
