Profile: Justice Coalition

The Justice Coalition works hard to reach out to victims, the community, law enforcement, legislators, the faith-based organizations and local officials while following three objectives:

• To be available for innocent victims of violent crimes
• To educate the general public on criminal justice issues
• To be pro-active in the fight against crime

  What We Do

• Provide immediate crisis intervention by assessing the victim’s needs and implementing an appropriate plan of action.
• Educate victims regarding their rights as a victim of crime and criminal justice proceedings.
• Network our resources to provide the victim counseling and / or support groups, if needed.
• Accompany victims to court proceedings. This includes pretrial hearings, trials, depositions, meetings with prosecutors and injunction hearings.
• Act as a liaison between victims and prosecutors, law enforcement, and the media.
• Assist victims in applying for victims’ compensation.
• Assist victims in publicizing rewards for unsolved murders and missing persons.
• Publish a monthly newspaper that prints crime victims’ stories, pictures of unsolved murder victims, missing persons, wanted criminals and much more.
