| From: | Senator Bob Mensch and Sen. John P. Sabatina, Jr. |
| To: | All Senate members |
| Subject: | Designating the week of April 8th through 14th, 2019 as Crime Victims’ Rights Week in Pennsylvania |
| In the near future, we will be introducing a resolution designating the week of April 8th through 14th, 2019 as Crime Victims’ Rights Week in Pennsylvania. Almost 16 million Americans are victimized by crime each year, 5.7 million of whom were victims of violent crime. The millions of survivors of crime and their families deserve justice, rights, resources, restoration and rehabilitation for the violence they have experienced. The citizens of Pennsylvania realize that we can make our homes, neighborhoods, and communities safer and stronger by serving victims of crime and ensuring justice for all. The United States Department of Justice’s Office for Victims of Crime was established to enhance the capacity to assist crime victims and to promote justice and healing for all victims of crimes. For many years, the Office for Victims of Crime has helped lead communities throughout the country in their observance of “National Crime Victims’ Rights Week,” helping to boost public awareness about the challenges presented to victims of crime and celebrating the hard-won progress in victims’ rights and services. Please join me us in recognizing the observance of “National Crime Victims’ Rights Week” and in supporting victims of crime throughout this Commonwealth and the nation. If you have any questions or comments please contact Mark Fetzko at 717-787-3110 or Jesse Monoski at 717-787-9608. |
