| H.R. No. 75 | ||
|
|
||
| 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 82nd 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 2012. | ||
