The Victims’ Bill of Rights

The Victims’ Bill of Rights is a law that ensures crime victims are treated with dignity and fairness throughout the legal process. It grants rights such as being informed of court proceedings, attending trials, and speaking about how the crime affected them. Victims also have the right to be heard before sentencing and to be protected from the accused. These rights aim to give victims a voice, support their healing, and promote transparency and fairness in the justice system.
