The evaluation of state victim compensation statutes regarding police cooperation requirements uses the following scoring procedure: 2 points are awarded if the state does not make eligibility contingent on proving cooperation with law enforcement; 1 point is awarded if eligibility is contingent on cooperation but includes 'good cause' or 'reasonableness' exceptions; 0 points are awarded if eligibility requires proof of cooperation without a 'good cause' exception; and an additional 0.5 points are awarded if the state requires cooperation but codifies specific exceptions for victims of sexual assault, human trafficking, or minors.
