What Crime Victims Are Saying About Incarceration

Remembering the Rights of Victims

Every person who breaks the law is different. Every person who is convicted of a crime is different. Every crime and the situation surrounding it is different. And every person who is harmed by a criminal act is also different.

We understand that all of these variables make it impossible to accurately quantify the harm crime causes.
