The California Victims Resource Center (CVRC) is located on the Pacific McGeorge School of Law campus in Sacramento, California.
 
The Center has operated the State of California's confidential, toll-free 1-800-VICTIMS line since 1984. McGeorge students, under attorney supervision, provide information and referrals statewide to victims, their families, victim service providers, and victim advocates.
 
Primarily through the hotline and website, Center staff provide resource and referral information to victims and their families, victim service providers and other victim advocates. Callers receive information on such matters as victims compensation, victims' rights in the Justice System, restitution, civil suits, right to speak at sentencing and parole board hearings, as well as information on specific rights of victims of domestic violence, elder abuse, child abuse, and abuse against disabled.
 
The Center offers free "Know Your Rights" presentations on a host of victim-related issues to community organziations, service providers, and schools.  The Center also offers free legal representation to victims of crime.  For more information, please contact us at (916)739-7055. 


The Center is mandated by legislation, California Penal Code Section 13897, and is funded through the California Emergency Management Agency (CalEMA).
