Deterrence December 2022: Supporting Victims of Crime

By January 4, 2023January 25th, 2023News, Press Releases, Security

Throughout the month of December, our team pledged to support victims in crime in Canada – with the development of a campaign to support the Canadian Resource Centre for Victims of Crime; in turn benefitting crime victims and their families across the nation.

Who are the Canadian Resource Centre for Victims of Crime?

The Canadian Resource Centre for Victims of Crime (CRCVC) are a support-based organization that provides services and resources to individuals and the families who have fallen victim to crimes in Canada. These services are free-of-charge and confidential.
Some of the key services provided by the CRCVC include:
  • Court preparation and accompaniment throughout the judicial system
  • Information sharing with victims of federally sentenced offenders
  • Victim advocacy with all levels of government (municipal, provincial and federal)
  • Referrals and support programs
  • Emotional support
“Hope is probably even more powerful than laughter: rest assured you have given me the biggest dose of hope I’ve had in a very, very long time. It’s really easy to keep the mentality of being a victim, and convince yourself that it’s a burden you must bear yourself forever. Then boom! All of a sudden, you find lovely people willing to help, and climbing out of that lonely place feels doable. It’s such a nice feeling.” – Long Term Client of the CRCVC

A message from the CRCVC:

“Our clients come to us during one the roughest times of their lives. Forced to navigate a system that seems to work against them, while dealing with the trauma of crime, they are relieved when they find us – and you – standing by their side.
As a charity, donations like this allow us to provide our resources, time, expertise and knowledge of the legal system to help thousands of victims from across Canada take giant strides on what will be a long journey of healing. As every single dollar of such donations goes directly back into helping victims of crime, receiving one like this allows us to focus on what we do best: supporting victims of crime. We are honoured that we were chosen for this incredible opportunity for a second year in a row! Thank you.”
– Aline Vlasceanu, Executive Director | Canadian Resource Centre for Victims of Crime

Over the course of the month of December, we focused on the prevention of crime, while making a conscious effort to support the individuals & families who have fallen victim to it in our communities.
