| Abstract | A 40-hour education program covering the impact of crime on victims and their families was offered to sentenced offenders in a statewide prison system. Questionnaire responses from 339 males, ranging in age from 21-45 years, were examined. Results indicated that the program increased knowledge of victim rights, facts of victimization, and sensitivity to victims' plight. Age was a significant covariate, with younger offenders initially expressing less knowledge of victim legal rights and less understanding of victim suffering. Posttreatment results indicated that younger offenders changed in a positive direction to a greater degree than older offenders. Truthfulness was found to correlate with avoidance of victim blame.
