'Crime Victims' Bill of Rights', as Cited by the statewide group 'People Against Violent Crime':


http://www.peopleagainstviolentcrime.org/cvbor.html


I was very pleased to learn about this noble non-profit Texan group today while pursuing crime-deterrence-theme research on the Internet. The e-mail address for this Austin-based group is: pavc@peopleagainstviolentcrime.org

Three quotes from this admirable group's copyright-2020 website: 

"Every 3 ½ minutes, a violent crime occurs in Texas. In each instance, at least one person is a victim that needs assistance and guidance through the process of victimization and the criminal justice system."

 "PAVC’s mission is to ensure that the rights of crime victims are upheld according to the Texas Crime Victims’ Bill of Rights and to coordinate with victim service providers, law enforcement agencies and criminal justice agencies to help make certain that adequate resources are available to all victims of crime." 

"People Against Violent Crime was founded (in 1982) by Nell Myers whose daughter, Cydney Myers, was brutally murdered in 1979. Upon learning of the injustices in the criminal justice system, Nell committed herself to making a difference in the lives of crime victims across the state. She established PAVC in Austin, Texas with 36 charter members."
