Pasadena : Funds for Crime Victims
A 14-year-old crime victims assistance program for senior citizens will stay in operation, thanks to a $50,000 allocation voted by the City Directors on Tuesday.
The Crime Resistance Involvement Council, operated in cooperation with the Psychological Center of the Graduate School of Psychology at Fuller Theological Seminary, had previously received $50,000 yearly from the city. After the program won a state grant in 1984, the city amount dropped to $20,000.
Program officials sought restoration of the higher amount to continue aiding the more than 100 elderly Pasadena residents referred to the program annually because of burglaries, robbery or rape.
