Crime Victims Fund

The Crime Victims Fund is a U.S. government program that provides financial assistance to victims of crimes. It is primarily funded by fines and penalties paid by convicted federal offenders, not taxpayer money. The fund helps victims cover expenses like medical bills, counseling, lost wages, and funeral costs. It also supports local victim assistance programs, ensuring that victims receive necessary support and resources. The goal is to help individuals recover from the impact of crime and to promote their well-being and safety in the community.
