Families and Friends works closely with national organizations such as the National Organization for Victim Assistance (NOVA), the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and the National Victim Center to provide further resources for assisting local crime victims and families of missing persons.
Prior to the trial, the organization familiarizes victims and survivors with criminal justice system terminology and procedures. During trials, transportation to court is provided, and victims are shielded from curiosity seekers, the news media, and confrontation with the alleged offender and/or family members of the accused.
“We also provide assistance and support to families searching for loved ones,” added a dedicated volunteer, “and we monitor the conduct of judges, prosecutors, and other criminal justice personnel in an effort to help make the system more responsive to victims and the general public.” For more information, write:
