Founded in 1985, the National Center for Victims of Crime is the nation\u2019s leading resource and advocacy organization for victims of crime. Our mission is to forge a national commitment to help victims of crime rebuild their lives. Through collaboration with local, state, and federal partners, the National Center:

\ue000
Provides direct services and resources to victims of violent and non-violent crime
across the country;
\ue000
Advocates for federal, state, and local laws and public policies that create
resources, secure rights, and provide protections for crime victims;
\ue000
Delivers training and technical assistance to victim service organizations,
counselors, attorneys, criminal justice agencies, and allied professionals serving
victims of crime; and
\ue000
Fosters cutting-edge thinking about the impact of crime and the ways each of us
can help victims of crime rebuild their lives.

In 2001, the National Center launched its Teen Victim Initiative in response to the high levels
of victimization among teens and the lack of services speci\ufb01 cally for teens. The Teen Victim
Initiative builds the capacity of victim service providers to serve teen victims and urges the
youth services community to consider victimization among the many risk factors impeding
youth\u2019s healthy development through:

\ue000
Training
\ue000
Technical assistance
\ue000
Research
\ue000
Publications
\ue000
Public awareness
\ue000
Youth-led demonstration projects
