Most victims of homicide are alienated and distrustful of government ,law enforcement  personel and

believe psychological counselling  is ineffectual.This can lead them to feeling confused and increasing paralysed.

A critical lack of sensitve  and appropriate services only exacerbates their diffculties in dealing with

the horrofic event. Homicide has the most intense impact,compared to other crimes.

    AS TRAUMATIC AS HOMICIDE IS,THE AFTERMATH IS

                                OFTEN  WORSE
