Cheboygan County Prosecutors continue to help domestic violence victims
Contributed
Officials say that many times domestic violence crimes are the hardest to prosecute due to the connection between the victim and the offender, but the Cheboygan County Prosecuting Attorney s office works hard to protect the victims.
National Crime Victims’ Rights Week is this week April 18- 24 and the staff of the prosecutor s office feel it is important to reflect on what domestic violence is and how it affects the community. At its broadest, domestic violence which is also known as intimate partner violence is manipulation and mistreatment to control another person, said Cheboygan County Chief Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Amber Libby.
SHREVEPORT, La - National Crime Victimsâ Rights Week is April 18â24, 2021, and the entire month is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The theme for this yearâs National Crime Victimsâ Rights Week is Support Victims. Build Trust. Engage Communities.
Each year, the Caddo Parish District Attorneyâs office takes this opportunity to reflect on and fortify its commitment to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. The DA s office prioritizes victim engagement in a number of ways: maintaining a Special Victims Unit; employing a team of Victim Assistant Coordinators and finally, forming alliances with community partners who serve and advocate for victims throughout the community. These community partners include the Gingerbread House, the Cara Center, the Family Justice Center, and Project Celebration.

This shortfall, announced in the midst of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, means that nearly half of the nonprofit s staff will be laid off.
It s the first time layoffs have been necessary since the 2008 recession.
âThis is going to be hard, but we re not going away,â Rachel Valentine, the executive director of OCRCC, told the
BOISE â National Crime Victimsâ Rights Week is marking its 40th anniversary in Idaho and across the nation this week, and Marsyâs Law for Idaho is helping raise awareness about the challenges facing crime victims, the need for stronger rights and more resources essential to supporting victim needs.
The theme for 2021 â âSupport Victims. Build Trust. Engage Communitiesâ â takes on even more significance amid the pandemic and the impact itâs had on rising reports of domestic violence, sexual abuse, child abuse and other crimes against persons. The mission of NCVRW21 also highlights the importance of leveraging and supporting organizations dedicated to helping victims of crime and ensuring they have the resources to support their work.
