Witness Safety
Witness safety refers to the measures taken to protect individuals who provide testimony in legal cases. These individuals, known as witnesses, may face threats or intimidation from those involved in the case, such as defendants or their associates. Ensuring their safety is crucial for the integrity of the judicial process.
Programs designed for witness safety often include relocation, new identities, and security measures. These initiatives aim to minimize risks and encourage witnesses to come forward without fear. By safeguarding witnesses, the legal system can uphold justice and ensure that critical information is available for investigations and trials.
