Family Families Against Crime and Trauma (F.A.C.T.)

-- "Families the real victims in Canada's travesty of justice" in Vancouver 24 hours on August 19, 2009

Remove Family and you have the truth. The messages given by the website - and the purpose and goals of the site - are needed in British Columbia right now. In fact, they're needed across the country and the rest of the world. From the homepage:
An organization here to provide a voice for those affected by a violent crime, and for those who have lost a loved one to a criminal act.

ABOUT US
Our mission is to create change in the Criminal Justice System, to provide guidance and direction pertaining to court procedures, and to educate the community and victims about their rights.

Our Justice system is broken. In fact, there is no justice in the CJS, it's become a legal system. Legalities and judicial procedure have become the focus, rather than Justice.

We aim to put pressure on the Federal government to revise the Criminal Code sections dealing with the sentencing of anyone charged with violent offences.
