Dr. Joan Neff receives Outstanding Victim Services Award

July 10, 2014

The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice honored Dr. Joan Neff with the Outstanding Victim Services Award at their luncheon on April 9.

Neff was recognized for her contributions to the Virginia Victim Assistance Academy, a week-long institute held on the University of Richmond campus each summer to train service providers and advocates to more effectively help crime victims regain control of their lives. She was the only honoree this year associated with a university.

Neff is an associate professor and coordinator of the criminal justice program at the University of Richmond, and also serves as associate provost.
