National Crime Victims’ Rights Week (NCVRW) is April 6 – 12, 2025

Each year, millions of Americans become victims of crime.   National Crime Victims’ Rights Week (NCVRW) is April 6 – 12, 2025.   This year’s theme of KINSHIP is a call to action to recognize that shared humanity should be at the center of supporting all survivors and victims of crime. KINSHIP is a state of being with survivors that drives vital connections to services, rights, and healing.   KINSHIP is where victim advocacy begins.

NCVRW began in 1981 to honor victims and survivors of crime, raise awareness of victims’ rights and services and recognize the dedication of those who work with crime victims.  Please enjoy the pinwheel display on the courthouse lawn during the month of April in observance of Crime Victims’ Rights Week and Child Abuse Prevention Month.
