National Crime Victims' Rights Week was April 18-April 24, 2021.

 

Since 1981, National Crime Victims’ Rights Week is a time to renew our commitment to serving all victims of crime, to acknowledge the achievements in victim services and allied professions, to honor those who have gone above and beyond in their service to others, and to remember crime victims and survivors.

Each year in the spring, victim service providers, justice professionals, and community advocates across the state come together to reflect upon milestones of the past year and rededicate their efforts towards the furtherance of victims’ rights.

This year, the State’s Attorney’s Office for Charles County hosted the 31st Annual Maryland Statewide Crime Victim Virtual Memorial Service on Sunday, April 19, 2021.
