That’s why he created the Manhattan DA’s first-ever Special Victims Division – to make sure every survivor of sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse receives justice and the services they need. The Special Victims Division is helmed by leaders with expertise in providing services to survivors and implementing trauma-informed policies.
