the Victims' Rights Amendment

The Victims' Rights Amendment is a proposed legal change designed to ensure that crime victims have specific rights during a criminal justice process. These rights often include being informed about court proceedings, being able to participate in trials, and being heard at sentencing or parole hearings. The aim is to empower victims by recognizing their interests and providing them a voice, while balancing the rights of the accused. It’s about creating a system where victims’ concerns are acknowledged and considered throughout the criminal justice process.
