Almost
26 million Americans are victimized by crime each year.
Many victims suffer from more than the trauma of the original
crime. All too often, they are also left with expenses
for medical procedures, physical rehabilitation, counseling,
lost wages, and lost earning capacities. The National
Crime Victim Bar Association (NCVBA), an affiliate of the
National Center for Victim of Crime, helps victims find attorneys
and allied professionals who can assist in obtaining the resources
necessary for physical and emotional healing. In addition,
the NCVBA provides technical assistance to attorneys representing
crime victims in the civil justice process. |

The
StopHazing.org website grew out of a group of concerned students,
educators and parents called the MJTF (multi-jurisdictional
task force.) This organization first formed in 1993 at the University
of New Hampshire in order to pass a state anti-hazing law. Since
the successful passage of NH's first anti-hazing law in 1993,
the group has expanded to other states and hopes to support
anti-hazing efforts across the nation. The MJTF now has members
in New Hampshire, Vermont, Georgia, Maine, Massachusetts and
Ohio. |
