WHEREAS, In April of each year, National Crime Victims' |
|
Rights Week is sponsored by criminal justice and victim service |
|
practitioners as an occasion to publicize and affirm the rights of |
|
those who suffer as victims of violent crime; and |
|
WHEREAS, During this week, many public education and |
|
community awareness activities are sponsored to help the citizens |
|
of Texas understand the experience of crime victims and to learn |
|
about the many critical services available to those who fall prey to |
|
criminal offenders; and |
|
WHEREAS, Violent crime affects the lives of countless Texans |
|
each year, and it is crucial that all citizens be fully aware of |
|
their legal rights and the full range of services available to crime |
|
victims, for only in this way can the criminal justice system secure |
|
the rights of the innocent as well as the guilty; and |
|
WHEREAS, It is entirely fitting that the Texas House of |
|
Representatives lend its full support to this worthy observance and |
|
make every effort to promote greater awareness of crime victims' |
|
rights in every jurisdiction of this state; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
Legislature hereby commend the many dedicated professionals and |
|
volunteers who are working to secure rights and services for the |
|
victims of crime and urge all Texans to observe National Crime |
|
Victims' Rights Week in 2010. |
