 o one expects to be a victim of
crime, but it happens. One American household in three is victimized by serious crime every
year. If you or someone close to you is affected by crime, you may be
shocked, angered, or shamed. And you may feel helpless and confused.
The criminal justice system has in the past ignored the special needs
of victims while concentrating on protecting the rights of the accused,
but that is changing. We at the Churchill County District Attorney's
Office are working hard to make the victim's need primary in all our
considerations.
