victims' rights  

Definición

  • The victims' rights movement began as a backlash against a number of U.S. Supreme Court decisions in the 1960s that seemed to favor criminals—among them Miranda v. Arizona (1966), which required law enforcement officials to advise suspects of their constitutional rights against self-incrimination and to representation by an attorney. Since then, the federal government has implemented laws to protect victims of crime and most states have enacted either constitutional or statutory measures addressing their rights.
