Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The administration of justice in America often leaves families of homicide victims aggrieved and alienated. The purpose of this study is to examine the problems in the handling of police investigations involving murder cases and their impact on the lives of homicide co-victims. Of particular interest is the negative treatment, coined “secondary victimization,” that families of homicide victims receive from criminal justice personnel in handling police investigations. This paper provides a brief review of state laws regarding provisions that ensure victims and their families the right to be informed of advances in police investigations, especially in murder cases. Additionally, a review of the research examines the costs and benefits of police agencies adhering to state provisions in sharing crime-related information with homicide co-victims. Both a review of the literature and personal accounts from 27 co-victims illustrate the problems in the police handling of murder investigations and demonstrate the negative impact of secondary victimization on the psychological well-being of co-victims when protocols are not properly followed. Finally, ways to improve police services to co-victims when handling homicide investigations in light of current provisions are discussed.
