New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin visited Younity, a Mercer County victims’ services organization, on Tuesday to highlight what he called the devastating potential impact of federal threats to cut funding for crime victims. The group relies heavily on the federal Victims of Crime Act (VOCA), which has provided nearly $1 million in funding for its programs. Congress created VOCA during the Reagan administration to provide states with grants for victim services and compensation programs. States use the money to assist nearly 9 million crime victims each year. “Victims of crime should not have to wonder whether the support they need will be there when they need it most.”
