Communicating Victim Rights

This video serves as a tribute to crime victims and the advocates and public servants who work with them, and discusses the advances made in crime victims' rights and services since the passage of the Victims of Crime Act of 1984.

This 2024 National Crime Victims’ Rights Week (NCVRW) theme video is a call-to-action for us all to create safe environments for crime victims to share what happened to them.

Use this video during your 2024 NCVRW events or share it throughout the year on your website and social media channels, or at public awareness, education, and training events to advance victims’ rights and services.
