About Us
We are dedicated to serving victims of all crime types
The National Center for Victims of Crime is dedicated to serving individuals, families, and communities harmed by crime.
We believe that a society that prioritizes the safety and healing of communities, responds to the needs of all individuals harmed by crime, promotes victims’ rights, and engages in advocacy for systems change is able to reduce the crime and its impact on victims and their families.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Chances are you either are a survivor or you know one.
Survivors may face lifelong, physical, psychological, and financial consequences.
Sexual violence is pervasive in our society and we must all do everything we can to prevent it. This problem won’t get better by ignoring it.
Victims of *any* type of crime can access our VictimConnect Resource Center 24/7 from anywhere in the U.S. Our trauma informed specialists will offer you confidential support and find resources to help you on your healing journey. Get help now at victimconnect.org.
Civil lawsuits are a powerful way for crime survivors to seek justice. Our National Crime Victim Bar Association attorneys fight for them every day.
We just wrapped two days of networking and training at our NCVBA Mid-Year Conference in Washington, D.C., where our attorneys deepened their skills and knowledge to better serve victims.
Our thanks to legendary investigative journalist and advocate Chris Hansen for supporting us through a fundraising dinner and to @romanucciblandin, @pcvalaw, @haggardlaw, @rebuttal_pr, and Assembly Neos for sponsoring events and training this week!

Survivors of human trafficking often wind up in jail as a direct result of their victimization. We teamed up with survivors for a new report about the intersection of trafficking and incarceration and how victims who become involved with the justice system can be better supported before, during, and after incarceration.
We’re beyond grateful to the survivors who lent their voices to this project, including Elizabeth Quiroz. Hear from her why this work matters! Go to victimsofcrime.link/reports to access this and other reports.
Our team of experts is here to answer your questions about crime, how to support survivors, victim advocacy, and even the negative impacts of true crime. Whatever you’ve been curious about, now’s your chance to ask.
