FMV
is committed to helping co-victims of homicide--family and friends
who have lost a loved one to murder--by providing them a wide
array of services, including criminal justice information, emotional
support and trial accompaniment.
It is a sad and widely held misconception
that the crime of murder leaves behind no victims; some of
the most devastated victims of crime are homicide co-victims.
FMV staff attend preliminary hearings, trials, and sentencings
to offer victims' families support. Family members are welcome
to call the FMV office to obtain service referrals and information,
case updates or other criminal justice information, even if
an arrest has not been made in the case. FMV can be reached
by calling (215) 686-8033 or via
email.
