Attorney General's Statement on National Crime Victims' Rights Week
TALLAHASSEE, FL -- Attorney General Bill McCollum today issued the following statement recognizing National Crime Victims' Rights Week:
"Until the past few decades, victims of crime and their families regularly endured disappointments and injustices. Today, I am honored to recognize the beginning of National Crime Victims' Rights Week – a week that demonstrates just how far our state and our country have come to care for victims of crime.
"These victims and their families deserve our best efforts to protect them, to serve them, and to care for them, and I am proud of the role the Attorney General’s Office through the Division of Victim Services plays in those efforts."
