Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall has announced collaboration with law enforcement agencies and crime victims' organizations to mark National Crime Victims’ Rights Week occurring from April 6-12, 2025. This event is dedicated to honoring crime victims, supporting their families, and increasing awareness of resources for healing. The theme for 2025, "Kinship, Connecting & Healing," emphasizes the community's role in restoring hope and strength to crime victims.
Steve Marshall, Alabama's Attorney General, stated: "I have seen firsthand the immense pain and challenges that victims of crime and their families face as they seek justice and begin the difficult process of healing. It is often a long and painful journey—one that victims, law enforcement officers, prosecutors, and advocates walk together. This week is a time to recognize that journey, to stand in solidarity with those who have suffered, and to renew our commitment to ensuring they receive the support and swift justice they deserve.”
Throughout the designated week, the Attorney General’s Office will take part in community activities focused on remembrance and reflection. Marshall expressed, “This week, people around our great state, gather and honor loved ones who have experienced unimaginable tragedies, coming together to connect and bring hope to each other. I encourage all Alabamians to take a moment to remember those affected by crime and to attend a vigil in their area. Too many victims of crime feel alone and isolated, unaware of the resources and support available to them. Our state stands ready to help, as no victim should ever feel forgotten.”
