Criminal Justice Professional Three Key Roles and Responsibilities Regarding Victims Potential Consequences to Victims of Not Meeting These Responsibilities Law Enforcement  Law enforcement officers escort injured victims to emergency medical services such as hospitals.  If a crime has compromised the victim's safety or their property is needed for evidence, it will be secured.  Law enforcement will contact the victim to offer assistance after the initial response. When a victim is alone and has no one to accompany them to the hospital, they can feel scared and alone, which can make the trauma worse. Additional harm or property damage may occur if law enforcement does not secure the victim's property and ensure their safety. Without someone to encourage the victim to seek the necessary services and ensure that they receive them, their mental and physical needs may go unmet, delaying the healing and stability they desperately need. Prosecution  Victims can access 24/7 contact information for assistance and protection.  Throughout the criminal justice system, keep the victim informed about the status of their case.  Working with other criminal justice bodies to provide seamless services to victims. The prosecution needs to ensure that the victim fully comprehends the legal process and what to expect during hearings. Failure to do so could potentially result in the victim experiencing further trauma due to unexpected events. If the victim and witness are not provided with adequate protection, they may suffer physical, emotional, or property damage, which could discourage them from giving testimony. Defense  Defense attorneys are tasked with protecting the constitutional rights of their clients.  They prepare their clients and witnesses for trial and cross-examine prosecution witnesses.  They present evidence that could create reasonable doubt in the prosecution's case. It's essential to conduct cross-examination respectfully, as hostility can traumatize the victim and harm the defense's case. Failure to abide by legal and constitutional rights could result in being sued by the victim. It is essential to avoid hostile cross- examination of a victim as it can have a traumatic impact and prove detrimental to the defense's case. Additionally, failure to uphold legal and constitutional rights could result in legal action against the defendant by the victim. Judiciary  Victims should have a private, secure area away from the defendant, family, and the public.  Restitution should be prioritized over fines and realistic payment schedules.  When probation is ordered, victims should have a say in the conditions of supervision. It is crucial to provide a secure waiting area for the victim to avoid any potential harassment or attacks from the defendant and their associates. Additionally, unwanted media attention can also cause distress to the victim. Such incidents can lead to the victim's unwillingness to speak in court, negatively impacting the proceedings. It is also essential to order appropriate restitution and assign feasible sentencing to avoid public outrage and dissatisfaction from the victim and their families. Probation  When the offender violates probation, the victim will be notified, and the offender may be incarcerated. It is crucial to report probation violations as failure to do so could encourage the offender and potentially lead to harm

Criminal Justice Professional Three Key Roles and Responsibilities Regarding Victims Potential Consequences to Victims of Not Meeting These Responsibilities  For victims in need, provide proper information and referrals.  Contacting victims as part of a presentence investigation to assess impact. against their victim or other individuals if the offender has a history of violence. Neglecting to report probation violations also enables the offender to remain free when they should be incarcerated for not fulfilling the terms of their probation. Institutional Corrections  Obtaining victim information, including protection orders and impact statements, from court records to add to the offender's file.  If the victim requests, inform them of the offender's location, classification, release date, or death.  When scheduling parole release hearings, coordinate with victims, victim service providers, and paroling authorities to determine the location and details. It is essential to ensure that the offender does not escape from the facility to prevent them from posing a threat to their victim and others. Additionally, it is crucial to keep the victim's information confidential to prevent associates of the offender from acting upon requests to harm or intimidate the victim. Failure to notify the victim of a change in the offender's status could lead to the traumatic realization that the offender is walking free, causing complaints to be made against the Department of Corrections. Parole Agencies  When considering the inmate's release, asking the victim if they have any concerns regarding their safety and security is important.  Provide the victim with an overview of the parole process, including information on parole board hearings.  For victims who require assistance, provide relevant information and referrals. It is crucial to allow victims and their families the chance to express their thoughts if the offender is up for parole. Failing to do so would deprive them of their say in deciding whether or not the offender should be set free. Neglecting their emotions and memories of the offense opens the possibility of the offender being released when they are not yet ready to reintegrate into society. References Chapter 2-2 - NVAA .
