What will be an ideal response?


Multicultural competence in victim services involves understanding and appropriately responding to victims with a distinct combination of cultural variables. The development of multicultural competency in victim services starts with service providers comprehending their own racial orientation. Knowing and appreciating one’s own culture would help recognize how culture affects victims’ behavior and decisions. Ultimately, that knowledge and understanding must be used to develop and implement culturally appropriate interventions to assist victims from different cultures.
