National
Crime Victims' Rights Week offers us all the opportunity
to promote strength in unity in helping victims and
survivors of crime and in recognizing their rights as crime
victims. During this week, organizations that assist
crime victims in the 9th Judicial District (Garfield,
Pitkin, and Rio Blanco counties) join together to promote
greater public awareness of the rights and needs of crime
victims. The week's theme, "Victims' Rights: Every
Victim. Every Year," envisions a strengthened national
commitment to the nearly 24 million Americans harmed by
crime each year.
The 9th Judicial District Crime Victim Compensation Program
is offered through the Victim/ Witness Assistance Program of
the Office of the District Attorney. It offers
financial assistance to victims of crime for crime-related
expenses such as unpaid medical bills, mental health
counseling, funeral costs and lost wages. In 2006,
$353.133.17 was distributed to more than 300 victims and
their families in Garfield, Pitkin, and Rio Blanco counties.
The program assists victims of assault, domestic violence,
child sexual assault, sexual assault - rape, vehicular
homicide, and survivors of homicide victims and other
crimes. The Crime Victim Compensation Program is
funded by moneys paid by individuals convicted of crimes in
Garfield, Pitkin and Rio Blanco counties.
