Victims' rights refer to the legal protections and entitlements granted to individuals who have suffered harm due to criminal activities. These rights aim to ensure that victims are treated with dignity and respect throughout the legal process. Common rights include the right to be informed about the case, the right to participate in legal proceedings, and the right to receive support services. In many jurisdictions, laws have been established to uphold victims' rights, often referred to as Victims' Rights Acts. These laws may provide victims with access to compensation, the ability to make victim impact statements, and protections against intimidation or harassment from offenders.
