JESSICA E. HART: As the Director of the Office for Victims of Crime, it is my great honor to announce the recipients of the 2020 National Crime Victims’ Service Awards. These prestigious awards recognize individuals and organizations that demonstrate extraordinary achievements in supporting victims.

Each year, we receive many worthy nominations. I'm happy to announce, this year, we have selected 13 awardees in 11 different categories for their extensive service in support of victims of crime. Among the honored awardees are those who champion and defend victims’ rights, support family members of murder victims, combat human trafficking and child exploitation, conduct research to enhance services to crime victims, offer comfort and counseling in crisis, serve on the front lines, help child victims, and many who inspire hope and healing.
