This week marks National Crime Victims’ Rights Week (NCVRW). This year’s theme is Listen. Act. Advocate- Protect Victims, Serve Communities.
NCVRW began in 1981 to honor victims and survivors of crime, raise awareness of victims’ rights and services and recognize the dedication of those who work with crime victims. In New Jersey, crime victims and witnesses have rights, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 52:4B-36:
To be treated with dignity and compassion by the criminal justice system
To be informed about the criminal justice process
To be free from intimidation
To have inconveniences associated with participation in the criminal justice process minimized to the fullest extent possible
To make at least one telephone call provided the call is reasonable in both length and location called
To medical assistance if, in the judgment of the law enforcement agency, medical assistance appears necessary
To be notified if presence in court is not needed
To be informed about available remedies, financial assistance and social services
To be compensated for their loss whenever possible
To be provided a secure, but not necessarily separate, waiting area during court proceedings
To be advised of case progress and final disposition
To the prompt return of property when no longer needed as evidence
To submit a written statement about the impact of the crime to a representative of the county prosecutor's office which shall be considered prior to the prosecutor's final decision concerning whether formal criminal charges will be filed
To make, prior to sentencing, an in-person statement directly to the sentencing court concerning the impact of the crime. This statement is to be made in addition to the statement permitted for inclusion in the presentence report by N.J.S. 2C:44-6. In any homicide prosecution the victim's survivor may display directly to the sentencing court at the time of this statement a photograph of the victim taken before the homicide.
