The Victims' Rights Amendment is rooted in the simple idea that victims of crime, no less than their perpetrators, deserve a role in the criminal process. To that end, the federal Amendment matches constitutional protections for criminal defendants with a bill of rights for victims of violent crimes.
Victim Rights. The Crime Victims' Rights Act of 2004, Title 18 USC 3771, affords crime victims eight specific rights. The right to be reasonably protected from the accused. The right to reasonable, accurate, and timely notice of any public court proceeding, or any parole proceeding, involving the crime or of any release or escape of the accused.
