Victim Services
NYU cares about its community and is committed to helping those who are the victims of crimes.
If you are a student, staff or faculty member, or otherwise affiliated with NYU and have been sexually assaulted, stalked, harassed, or experienced dating violence or domestic violence, the NYU Department of Campus Safety can help.
The Victim Services Unit assists those who are considering reporting their experience to the police as well as those who have already decided to do so.
We walk those requesting assistance through the process of filing a police report and explain other judicial processes.
Upon request, the Victim Services Unit will accompany victims to the police department, the Office of the District Attorney, Family Court or the Family Justice Center.
Other services provided by the Victim Services Unit include:
- Accompaniment to the hospital or other service agency
- Assistance in obtaining an Order of Protection
- Assistance in obtaining a Temporary Restraining Order
- Assistance in filing the Crime Victims Compensation form
- Serve as a liaison with law enforcement
- Serve as a liaison with social service agencies
Please feel free to contact the Victim Services Unit at any time by calling 212.992.8600.
