Victim Rights: Ensuring a Voice
Victim are an essential part of criminal proceedings. To ensure that they can participate fully in the criminal justice process, every jurisdiction in the country gives victims rights in criminal cases. This session, taught by the Justice Department’s former senior attorney advisor on victim rights, Katharine Manning, discusses what rights victims have, how rights are enforced, and to whom they apply, as well as steps we can take to ensure victims receive their rights—and their voice—in court proceedings.
