When the victims of injustice lose faith in their justice system,
the crime they've endured cuts only deeper, adding insult to
injury. The time has come to face the truth that most victims of
crime will not have their needs met and often won't experience our
systems of justice as just. This short book makes its readers
experts in advocating rights for victims of crime. It empowers
taxpayers, voters and (potential) victims of crime to make the case
to rebalance justice and support victims. Written for the millions
of victims of crime and their friends and families, it helps to
transform an antiquated system of criminal and civil justice into a
modern system that is just and fair, shifting from neglect to
respect and support. While some laws in the USA and elsewhere do
support victims by providing assistance, compensation, and
protection from the accused, this book also sheds a harsh light
upon their inadequate implementation. Police services must catch
crooks but make victims their client. Courts must balance rights
for defendants and victims. Services for women, children and
elderly victims must be adequately funded. Restitution from
offenders must be ordered and collected, not overlooked. Fair
compensation from the state must change from a secret to a given.
The prevention of victimization must be the budget priority not
mass incarceration. Despite the speeches and the United Nations
norms, governments still leave most victims of crime without basic
information, support, and assistance, let alone respect and
remedies in courts. If you are not yet one of those victims of
crime, social responsibility requires you to ensure that your
country's systems of justice are fair to those who are and for
them, this book provides an answer.
