Since 1981, National Crime Victims Rights Week (NCVRW) has challenged the nation to confront and remove barriers to achieving justice for all victims of crime. During National Crime Victims Week, we recognize the accomplishments of the victims' rights movement and reflect on how far we have come.
This year, National Crime Victims Rights Week will be commemorated April 6th through the 12th, and Riverside County will be hosting two candlelight vigils in honor of crime victims and their families. Patty Cardenas, Assistant Director of the Division of Victims Services for the Riverside County DA's Office, and Regional Manager Karina Meza-Vazquea, discuss the programs offered during this week.
