National Center for Victims of Crime

Today, we’re remembering Ron Goldman 💙 Recent news has made a high-profile case from the 90s appear (again) in public discourse. In the articles written about potential new evidence, the victims, Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson, have received little mention. Remembering Ron and Nicole - and all victims of violent crime - is so important. Ron was and is a beloved member of his family and community, and his loss is still felt today. We must keep victims and survivors at the center of the story, honor them, and recognize how retelling their stories affects their families.

A remastered episode of “His Name Is Ron,” with guests Kim Goldman and Fred Goldman is out now.

Earlier this month, NCVC’s Victoria Arcano went to the United Against Deception: Ultimate Fraud Symposium and left incredibly moved by scam and fraud survivors’ stories. She created art in their honor.

She heard their stories of experiencing total loss to reclaiming their power and helping others. She said, “I saw each of these strong women and the quotes on each of the drawings was something that profoundly sat with me. Truly one of the most inspirational experiences I have had. In my opinion, the drawings aren’t the best; the survivor advocates behind them are the real story.”

You can read more about Victoria’s experience on our blog!

During the conference, Victoria sat on a keynote panel to discuss “The Global Fraud Crisis: Why Collaboration is No Longer Optional.” NCVC is committed to serving scam survivors and looks forward to taking over the Scam Justice Legal Clinic next year.

If you or someone you know is a victim of a scam or fraud, you can call/chat/text us 24/7/365 at victimconnect.org 🩵

“There are a lot of very good laws on the books,” said Renée Williams, CEO of the National Center for Victims of Crime. “The problem is that nobody knows how to enforce them, including district attorneys, and enforcement varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, even within the same state.” Check out this article to learn more about how sexual assault laws vary from state to state.

A Cornell University student’s allegations of gang r**e in 2024 have renewed attention on a difficult area of sexual assault law.
