Victim's rights

Victim's rights are legal protections designed to ensure individuals affected by a crime are treated with dignity and fairness. These rights often include the right to be informed about the case, to be heard at criminal proceedings, to receive restitution, and to be protected from the accused. They aim to empower victims, promote their safety, and acknowledge their role in the justice process. While these rights vary by jurisdiction, they generally seek to support victims through transparency and respect throughout the criminal justice system.
