Data & Statistics

Retrospective Review Reports (Look-Behind)

The retrospective review of human rights investigations, or “look-behind” process, was established to ensure that human rights investigations are conducted by licensed providers and state operated facilities in compliance with The Office of Human Rights (OHR) regulations in the Virginia Administrative Code. This process identifies areas where training or follow-up assistance is warranted in order to improve the investigative processes and outcomes.
