For Victims of Sexual Crimes, Domestic Assault, and Certain Other Crimes Our Criminal Justice system in the U.S. is based on the belief that a person is considered innocent until proven guilty. For this reason, people who are accused of crimes have rights throughout the court process. Victims have rights, too, to address the harm that a crime causes, and to try and keep the court system from being difficult or confusing. You have rights if you are a victim of a crime that happened in Vermont; if the offender is an adult; and if the crime was reported to law enforcement. If you are the survivor of a homicide victim, these rights apply to you. If there are many other survivors, the court may select one person to represent the family in court matters. The exact legal wording for these rights can be found in three law books: Volume 13 of the Vermont States Annotated (V.S.A. for short), sections 5301-5318; Volume 28 of the V.S.A. , section 7006; and the Vermont Rules of Criminal Procedure (or VRCrP ), section 15-f.

Tools: Search Calendar Feedback Usability ... Contact Us Student-Wide Judiciary Document Quick Links: Introduction to Student Wide Judiciary Jurisdiction Procedure Sanctions ... Contacts The Student-Wide Judiciary (SWJ) is the judicial extension of the University at Buffalo student governments. It was created in 1973 through the joint efforts of the administration and student governments of the University to implement a system of discipline that is based on "fair play" and timely adjudication. Every case is reviewed by at least one student justice. The full court is comprised of 21 justices plus alternates. They are selected based on their interpersonal skills and impartiality. The justices represent both evening and daytime divisions of the undergraduate schools and the various graduate and professional schools. Charges of violating University Rules and Regulations may be brought by anyone. The individual/party charged must be a student(s). Complaints are filed with the Court Representative's Office, located in 252 Capen Hall. The office is composed of law students employed by the Division of Student Affairs. Student prosecutors investigate alleged violations and determine the potential validity of charges made against a student. Throughout the SWJ proceedings they serve as the "voice" of the University. Judicial Affairs is part of the Division of Student Affairs. Madison L. Boyce is the Director of Judicial Affairs/Ombudsman and administrative advisor for the Student-Wide Judiciary. He supervises the assignment of sanctioned community service hours handed down by this court, Community Standards Panel (CSP) and, on occasion, civil courts. CSP, the residence hall judicial board, has specific jurisdiction only over violations of the University Residence Hall Rules and Regulations.

Basic Background on the Law Criminal Law and Procedure When a crime occurs, the criminal justice system tries to answer many questions. What happened? Who appears to have committed the crime? What law or laws did the person break in committing the crime? Can the government prove that this defendant committed the crime? If so, how should the government punish the defendant? What can be done to change the defendant’s future behavior? What can be done to help the victim and protect the community? Many people help answer these questions: police, prosecutors, defense attorneys, juries, judges, probation and parole officers, and correctional institution officers. All this makes the system seem complicated and hard to understand. Laws and regulations define what acts are crimes , and how the government can punish them. Citizens report crimes and act as witnesses, but only the government can prosecute a crime or dismiss a case. Some acts, like assault, may break both civil and criminal laws. An assault victim can sue the offender for committing a tort (a personal injury) and ask a court to order the offender to pay money damages. The government can prosecute the same offender for the same assault and ask for imprisonment, fines, restitution to the victim, further victim protection and rehabilitation programs.

STEPS IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROCESS FIRST APPEARANCE If a defendant is arrested and unable to post bond, he or she is entitled to appear before a judge within 24 hours. At First Appearance, the defendant is informed of the charges for which he/she was arrested and is advised of his/her rights. The Judge reviews the law enforcement reports and may raise or lower the amount of the bond, or may release the defendant on his or her own recognizance. FILING OF CRIMINAL CHARGES When the State Attorney’s Office receives a formal complaint from a law enforcement agency, an Assistant State Attorney, assigned to the case, will review the reports and may interview witnesses. It is important to cooperate with this office to ensure that all the information about the crime is provided. This review of the case will determine if there is sufficient evidence to pursue criminal prosecution, and if so, the attorney will file the formal charging document, called an "Information" with the court. You will be notified by letter of this decision. If there is not sufficient evidence to file criminal charges, the attorney will generate a document indicating no charges will be filed.

Practitioner Continuing Education Online Domestic Violence Substance Abuse Treatment and Domestic Violence Provided by the The National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Information Chapter 5 Legal Issues All jurisdictions in the United States have implemented regulations and laws designed to protect victims of domestic violence. The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), which was signed into law by President Clinton in September 1994, strengthens many of these protections and outlines Federal as well as State enforcement provisions and penalties. The Federal penalties mandated by VAWA are more stringent than existing State penalties: The bill, for example, makes it a Federal offense to cross State lines in violation of a civil protection order. In order to provide useful advice and support, substance abuse treatment providers should be familiar with VAWA and with relevant State and local regulations as well as with the legal resources available to victims of domestic violence. Substance abuse treatment providers should also have working relationships with the criminal justice system and local providers of legal and domestic violence services to whom they can refer a client with such problems. (See Appendix E for a listing of national programs and hotlines that can help providers identify local services.)

ISSUE REGULATIONS IMPLEMENTING VICTIMS OF TRAFFICKING LAW Immigrants' Rights Update, Vol. 15, No. 5, Aug. 31, 2001 On July 24, 2001, the State Dept. and Dept. of Justice (DOJ) issued interim regulations implementing section 107(c) of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA). Congress enacted the TVPA in order to combat trafficking in persons, both in the United States and internationally. The TVPA provides the federal government comprehensive tools of investigation and enforcement, and authorizes assistance and protection-including immigration relief-to individuals who cooperate with the investigation and prosecution of traffickers. The new regulations, which implement the portions of the TVPA concerning protections and services for trafficking victims, offer guidance to officials of the DOJ and State Dept. as well as other law enforcement agencies that may encounter victims. The regulations provide definitions to key TVPA terms. They also address the development of procedures to protect and provide services to trafficking victims; victim identification; detention; providing victims access to information on protection, safety, medical care, and rights; mechanisms for allowing victims to remain in the U.S.; and training for law enforcement personnel. Definitions.
