Sample Public Service Announcements

This week – April 10th to 16th – marks the 25th anniversary of National Crime Victims' Rights Week. During this Silver Anniversary observance, we can all join together to honor crime victims and those who serve them. Because justice isn't served until crime victims are.

Victims of crime in (community/state) are our mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, children, friends, neighbors and co-workers. Crime affects victims in many ways – physically, emotionally, financially, and spiritually. When one person is affected by crime, we all feel its impact. Access to supportive services in our community, and the rights to be informed of and involved in justice proceedings, are what justice is all about in America. And justice isn't served until crime victims are.

So during 2005 National Crime Victims' Rights Week and throughout the year, remember that crime victims in (community/state) have rights, and a wide range of services to help them cope with the aftermath of criminal victimization. If you or someone you know is a victim of crime, help is available. So get help, or help out. For more information about victims' rights and services in (community/state) or to volunteer for victims of crime, please call (area code/telephone number) or visit our Web site at (URL).
