The grading system for state victim compensation statutes awards points based on mandatory police reporting requirements: 2 points if victims can report to non-law enforcement entities; 1 point if reporting to law enforcement is required but statutory exceptions exist for good cause; 0 points if reporting to law enforcement is required without a good cause waiver. An additional 0.5 points is awarded if states require police reporting but codify specific exceptions for victims of sexual assault, human trafficking, or minors under the age of 18.
