“Justice Isn’t Served Until Crime Victims Are”
2005 National Crime Victims Rights Week
Poughkeepsie, NY—Family Services will be honoring National Crime Victims Rights Week from April 10th thru April 16th. During this week, crime victims and survivors, victim service providers, criminal and juvenile justice and allied professionals will join together across America to commemorate the 25th anniversary of National Crime Victims’ Rights Week. This year’s theme, “Justice Isn’t Served Until Crime Victims Are,” is a simple yet powerful message that focuses attention on victims’ needs for justice, for comprehensive services, and for the right to be treated with dignity and compassion by our criminal justice system and society.
