United States victims' rights movement
Définition(s)
- The crime victims' rights movement in the United States is founded on the idea that the criminal justice system went horribly awry when it moved away from its victim-centric origins, creating an exclusively two-party system and treating individual victims as interlopers. During the past 40 years, the movement has worked to overcome this perceived flaw in the system by passing state, federal, and local legislation in an attempt to reintegrate the individual victim as a legally recognized participant with rights, interests, and voice into the criminal justice process.
