Special Prosecution Units Mark National Crime Victims’ Right Week by Recognizing Community Partners

This year marks the 40th anniversary of National Crime Victim’s Rights Week. NCVRW promotes victims’ rights, honors crime victims and recognizes those who advocate on their behalf.

Considering this year’s theme, “Support Victims. Build Trust. Engage Communities,” each special prosecution unit selected a group who supports crime victims and advocates for their rights. The groups honored by the Office’s special prosecution units each provide a place for comfort and healing and an additional support system as victims seek justice.

As seen from the organizations recognized below, no crime victim is the same. Some sustain horrendous acts of violence, some have property damaged or stolen, and others are exploited financially. Please join the Knox County District Attorney General’s Office in recognizing these community partners.
