National Crime Victims Rights Week
Since National Crime Victims’ Rights Week was first proclaimed by President Ronald Reagan in 1981, there has been a specific, unifying theme each year to promote a national message about the importance of victims’ rights and services. The 2012 NCVRW theme – “Extending the Vision: Reaching Every Victim” – provides us with a dual opportunity to articulate a long-term vision for our field and for helping crime victims and survivors; and to consider what it will take, individually and collectively, for us to reach every victim who is in need of support or services.
