AWARENESS OF THE CAUSE

Crime is a major public health issue affecting mental, physical, emotional, financial, and spiritual health. It is only relatively recently that victims are now being supported as they should be. Fortunately, though, increased energies into public and personal safety has also facilitated crime prevention, too. Following a crime, it is now widely understood how important it is for the victim to be helped and guided through a period of peace and healing.
