The Crime Victims’ Memorial is located within the slopes of Highland Park.  The memorial was created to remind those who pass by of the local, national and global impact of crime on the lives of its victims. The fountain symbolizes the eruption of crime.  As the water forces its way out, we are reminded of the sheer force of crime as it occurs.  Bits and pieces of bronze, seen in the river, symbolize the breaking apart of victims’ lives. At the end of the river, there is a compilation of these shattered pieces.  The compilation symbolizes the re-unification that occurs following the victimization through the support of family, friends and the community. The support of all is the key to the strength of overcoming the tragedies created by crime.
