Which program is associated with assisting victims and witnesses in a legal context?

• A. Family Advocacy Program
• B. Victim and Witness Assistance Program
• C. Military Protective Order Program
• D. On-base Safety Program

Answer: (B)

Assisting victims and witnesses in a legal context means providing direct support to navigate the justice process, understand rights, and access resources, including court accompaniment and coordination with prosecutors. The program that best fits this purpose is the Victim and Witness Assistance Program, since it is designed to offer advocacy, information about rights, safety planning, referrals, and help through hearings and other legal steps. The other programs cover related areas but not this specific courtroom-focused support: Family Advocacy Program focuses on preventing and responding to abuse within military families; Military Protective Order Program handles issuing and enforcing protective orders; On-base Safety Program concentrates on overall base safety rather than acting as a legal advocate for victims and witnesses.
