Victim Rights Clarification Acts

Victim Rights Clarification Acts are laws that specify and strengthen the rights of crime victims during legal proceedings. They ensure victims have access to information about the case, the right to be heard at certain stages, protection from intimidation, and notification about court events. These acts aim to respect victims' dignity, promote transparency, and balance their needs with those of the accused, fostering a fairer justice process.
