"The Hispanic Crime Prevention Program, a unique
initiative in the United States, is dedicated to
orient Hispanics on issues such as their right
and obligations under the law, relations with
law enforcement agencies and service
organizations, and assistance and counseling for
the prevention of crime. Our goal is to
encourage Hispanics to actively participate and
benefit from living in a democracy."
Luis Salas, Director
Center for the Administration of Justice, FIU
"The Information efforts of the CAJ-Hispanic
Crime Prevention Program have provided our
Hispanic community with a better understanding
of Florida's legal system. At the same time, the
participation of the State Attorney's Office on
the television programs has provided (Hispanics)
unique insights into the way our office responds
to their needs and concerns."
Katherine Fernandez-Rundle
State Attorney, Miami-Dade County
"The goals of the Anti-Violence Initiative (AVI)
to create defender-community collaborations to
improve public safety, government accountability
and reduce the number of victims, are consistent
with those of HCPP in providing information
about crime prevention and the justice system to
the Hispanic community."
