About Us
We are dedicated to serving victims of all crime types
The National Center for Victims of Crime is dedicated to serving individuals, families, and communities harmed by crime.

Do you know the signs of elder abuse? June is Elder Abuse Awareness Month.
Adults 60 and older are sometimes exploited, neglected, or physically abused by caregivers, family members, and others. Elder abuse can also take the form of financial exploitation.
We encourage you to research warning signs of elder abuse and check in on the older adults in your life.
Help is available for victims. Our VictimConnect hotline is open 24/7 for survivors of all types of crime. Call/text 855-4VICTIM or go to victimconnect.org for confidential, trauma-informed support.

We are so grateful to Steve and Kristi Goncalves for sharing their story at CrimeCon.
Our CEO joined them and advocate Andy Kahan this past weekend to discuss the negative impacts of true crime on victims and their families — and ways we can all work to promote ethical storytelling and accountability in the true crime space.
Our hearts are with Steve and Kristi as they continue to mourn their daughter, Kaylee, and tell the world about her light.

When a luxury apartment complex failed to protect one of their own tenants — then destroyed and withheld evidence — one attorney decided to fight back. ⚖️
On the latest episode of Parallel Justice, Chicago attorney Symone Shinton breaks down a case that exposes how institutions fail survivors not just once, but over, and over again.
The civil justice system is one of the few tools survivors have — but it`s not easy to use. Symone explains what attorneys need to know to fight back against these corporations.
▶️ Episode 3 is out now. Link in bio.

Gun violence touches every corner of this country. More than 46,000 Americans die from it each year. It is the leading cause of death for children and teenagers ages 1 through 19.
Survivors may carry physical injuries and trauma for the rest of their lives, and entire communities bear the weight of mass shootings long after the news cycle moves on.
June is Gun Violence Awareness Month. As always, NCVC stands with all victims.
Victims of any crime in the U.S. can call our VictimConnect Resource Center for free, confidential help: 855-4VICTIM (855-484-2846) or victimconnect.org.
