Victims Bill of Rights
(Separate Website)
Throughout history countless innocent citizens have been victimized by time with little recognition of their individual rights or need for special assistance. Simultaneously, the criminal justice system has often been criticized for giving an appearance of protecting the rights of the accused at the expense of these victims. In response, efforts aimed at providing direct services to innocent victims have become increasingly prevalent throughout the country over the past several years. The primary objectives of these initiatives have been to improve the treatment of victims by assisting them in the difficult process of recovering from the criminal act, and to support and facilitate them as their cases proceed through the criminal justice process.
