H.R. No. 90 |
|
||
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 held 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 aware of their | ||
legal rights and the full range of services available to victims, | ||
for only in this way can the criminal justice system truly function | ||
in behalf 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 85th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby recognize National Crime Victims' Rights Week, | ||
April 2-8, 2017, and commend the many dedicated professionals and | ||
volunteers who are working to secure rights and services for the | ||
victims of crime. | ||
