White Collar Prosecutions Linked to Crime Victims Services
WORT 89.9FM Madison · White Collar Prosecutions Linked to Crime Victims Services

Back in June, WORT brought you the story of a coalition of crime victim services agencies and Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul, who sought – unsuccessfully, as it turned out – to persuade the Wisconsin legislature to add money to the state budget to support ongoing crime victim services. Such services have been traditionally funded by the Crime Victims Services fund under the federal Victims of Crimes Act or VOCA. Money for that fund has been drying up for years, dating back to the Biden Administration. To get a better idea of how and why federal funds are disappearing, we turn now to Martin Weinstein, partner, with the law firm Cadwalader, Wickensham and Taft and a former federal prosecutor.
