Crime victims' rights refer to the legal protections and entitlements granted to individuals who have suffered harm due to criminal activity. These rights often include the right to be informed about the criminal justice process, the right to participate in proceedings, and the right to receive restitution for losses incurred as a result of the crime.
In many jurisdictions, laws such as the Victims of Crime Act ensure that victims are treated with dignity and respect. Additionally, victims may have access to support services, including counseling and advocacy, to help them navigate the aftermath of a crime and its impact on their lives.
