Governor Schwarzenegger Proclaims April 13-19, 2008, as “Crime Victims’ Rights Week”

From April 13-19, National Crime Victims’ Rights Week will be observed across the nation by victims, survivors, and the professionals and volunteers who assist them. This year’s theme is “Justice for Victims. Justice for All.”

To crime victims, justice means that they are heard, treated with respect, and that their losses will be recognized. Victims’ Rights Week brings us together to make justice truly meaningful for crime victims. It helps us recognize the rights and needs of victims and survivors of crime, and that crime isn’t something that “happens to someone else.”

VCGCB staff will participate in a march on April 16th, from 400 R Street in Sacramento to a ceremony at the State Capitol. Please join us in this march for victims' rights or stop by our booth. Victim compensation materials will be available at the event.
