Crime Victims' Rights Act

The Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) is a federal law that ensures victims of crimes have specific rights during the legal process. It aims to provide victims with a voice and protections, allowing them to be informed about the proceedings, to receive timely notifications about court events, and to attend hearings. The act also includes rights to protection from intimidation and to be heard during sentencing. Overall, the CVRA helps empower victims, ensuring they are treated with respect and have opportunities to participate in the justice process.
