Realities of Sexual Assault.
Check out what the producers of Law and Order:SVU have to say about VINE. When Mary Byron was murdered in 1993, her family knew that she could have been kept safe had she known he was on the street. Because of this well publicized murder, VINE was invented and put into use first in Louisville, KY – and then it spread to almost every state in the US.
Knowledge and use of this service has saved lives. Most of the millions of viewers of last night’s episode will never need VINE, but for those who will, NBC has made sure they are aware. And on behalf of all those victims, we thank them.

About The Mary Byron Project
The Mary Byron Project was established in 2000 in memory of the young woman whose tragic murder led to the creation of automated crime victim notification technologies. As a nationally recognized thought leader on domestic violence, the Mary Byron Project cultivates and supports efforts that extend beyond crisis management to attack the root causes of this epidemic and help build safer, healthier communities.
Solutions are within our grasp. The Mary Byron Project was established with that quest in mind.
