Victim Rights Acts are laws designed to protect the rights of individuals who have been harmed by crime. These acts ensure that victims receive fair treatment within the legal system, including the right to be informed about their case, the right to attend court proceedings, and the right to receive support services. They aim to empower victims and give them a voice in the justice process. In many places, such as the United States, each state has its own version of a Victim Rights Act. These laws often include provisions for restitution, allowing victims to receive compensation for their losses, and may also provide access to counseling and other resources to aid in their recovery.
