NATIONAL CRIME VICTIMS’ RIGHTS WEEK
Fairness. Dignity. Respect
April 18-24, 2010
To honor individuals who have been impacted by crime, many organizations and agencies organize ceremonies, workshops and prevention activities. The Georgia judicial circuits also plan formal and informal tributes. Although most events revolve around the actual week, the whole month is used to promote this important cause. Here are some of the scheduled events and contact information.
Events will be posted as they are received by PAC
