Looking though YouTube to find a video about the policy in Texas there was only one that came up with the others being from a different state or it was one that applied to the United States. In a website called Crime Victims’ institute releases report on victimization in Texas that’s gives the rates of different crimes in Texas. On the website, it states that the rate of families looking for assistance in shelters or hotlines has decreased over the last 5 years and the reason why is unclear (N.A., 2017).

The CCC is a work relief program aimed at providing employment opportunities to young men between the ages of 18 and 25. The program allowed these men to enlist in work opportunities that help America’s public lands, forests, and parks. This program is very helpful for people during this time of economic need because it provides jobs that give them a place to sleep, food, and money. In my professional opinion this program is constitutional and in my personal opinion is very beneficial for the country and people in need. Passed on May 12, 1933, the Federal Emergency Relief Act was passed to combat the economical and social effects of the Great Depression, like the many other New Deal programs.

Victim witness programs are used by the government in order to provide support and assistance to those who fall victim to a crime. According to Victim Witness Program, the primary goals of such programs, include but are not limited to, encouraging victims to participate in any parole and supervised release processes of their offender, notify and facilitate victims in participation of any hearing or release dates in regards to their offender, provide options for supportive services, and advocate for crime victims (2015, para.1). The organization under which the victim-witness program is located is under a system, which has many internal constituencies, thus creating competing and conflicting purposes. The goals of the victim-witness program are quite simple and seek out to give the victim the right to be represented during the processing of the offender, however, given the multiple roles the court, for example, must serve, the goals of the victim-witness program can be both complex and conflicting.
