Violent Crimes Victim Services (VCVS) was born out of the violent death of one of the daughters of Lew Cox, the organization's founder and Executive Director.

 

Recognizing the significance of the loss after a loved one is murdered, Mr. Cox provides help to co-victims of homicide to cope with the aftermath of the crime.

 

VCVS's goal is to treat the bereaved families with compassion and dignity and to help them identify and meet their most important needs related to their physical, emotional and spiritual losses. VCVS also provides them with information about their statutory and constitutional rights including the right to be present at all proceedings related to their loved one's cases and information about crime victim's compensation.
