"The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it." --Albert Einstein
Experts in the field of victim assistance have learned over the years
that crime victims who are treated with dignity, compassion and respect
will learn to cope more effectively with the pain of being a crime
victim. They will also be more willing in the future to report crimes,
trusting that they will be believed and treated well. Hopefully, if you
are reading this, you will understand that those of us who work in the
field of victim rights and services care about what happens to people
who have been hurt by crime. NATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR VICTIMS ASSISTANCE
