This online Resource Guide for the 2019 National Crime Victims' Rights Week (NCVRW) contains outreach tools and sample materials to assist communities in developing and implementing a NCVRW awareness campaign for April 7-13, 2019.
Abstract
Highlights include a history of the crime victims' rights movement, fact sheets on crime and victimization, suggestions for raising awareness of crime victim needs and services in a local community, and original artwork that displays the 2019 theme. The theme is honoring the historical evolution of crime victim awareness and services and creating hope for the expansion and effectiveness of crime victim services in the future. One section of the provided resources features sources for accurate, current information and training on crime victim issues and the national partners who assisted in promoting this year's guide. It also showcases the U.S. Justice Department's Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) Gallery, which features multimedia from previous NCVRW resource guides.
