Crime Victims First (CV1) is proud to announce the launch the online Crime Victims’ Rights Resource Center. CV1 provides free access to the website and provides information and resources to educate, advocate, and enforce victims’ rights. Thanks to our founding sponsors the Stewart Law Firm and significant contributions from the technology firm Houston Techies this launch and victims’ rights enforcement in Texas is possible. Victims/Survivors of crime have Constitutional and Statutory rights to protect them, and these rights have been on the books for approximately twenty years. The victims’ rights movement has made enormous progress, but it’s time to take the next steps towards fulfilling the promise - victims’ rights compliance and enforcement and improving accountability. Crime Victims First is leading the way with our new website dedicated to promoting and protecting victims’ rights.
