National Crime Victims' Rights Week: April 22nd-28th

Each April since 1981, the federal Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) has designated a “National Crime Victims’ Rights Week.”  The purpose of NCVRW is to increase awareness of victims’ rights, honor crime victims, and aid those who advocate on their behalf. 

Fighting for Victim Privacy

In 2011 the Alaska Office of Victims’ Rights reached out to NCVLI for assistance in a sexual assault case where the victim’s privacy was in jeopardy.  The trial court had granted the defendant’s pretrial discovery motion ordering the victim to disclose sensitive, confidential, and privileged health care information, including possible mental health and substance abuse treatment records.
