Notable new resoures from National Crime Victim Law Institute

Via email I received word from the National Crime Victim Law Institute about two interesting new documents the NCVLI produced to help crime victims understand and safeguard their rights.  Here are links and some explanation from the email I received:

Identifying what remedies exist for a violation of a victim’s right can seem daunting; in fact, at times it can even seem like there are no options.  To help in this process we created a new resource.  Crime Victims’ Rights Enforcement & Remedies is designed to answer some frequently asked questions about what rights enforcement can look like, and possible remedies for violations.  The resource includes citations for practitioners interested in reviewing case examples from around the country. In addition, it’s imperative to have an understanding of the most common victims’ rights across the United States when representing or advocating for a victim.  Our Common Victims’ Rights resource provides a brief overview of ten of the most common victims’ rights, including a short summary and citations for each.
