RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2022/144 proclaiming April 24-30, 2022 as National Crime Victims' Rights Week in promotion of victims' rights and to recognize crime victims and those who advocate on their behalf.

BACKGROUND:

In April 1981, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed the first national "Crime Victims Week." National Crime Victims' Rights Week offers an opportunity to renew our commitment to crime victims by strengthening our partnerships and creating new ones, upholding the constitutional mandates of Marsy's Law and mobilizing organizations and their leaders to continue the commitment to crime victims and the safety of our community.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

This year’s theme is “Enforcing victims’ rights. Expanding access to services. Ensuring equity and inclusion for all.” Victims’ Rights Week recognizes prosecutors, support staff, law enforcement, crime victims and community members who have overcome so much to make our community safer.
