Definition

  • Although victims and witnesses are crucial players in the justice process, they did not receive much attention in the United States until the last quarter of the 20th century. The halls of justice can be daunting for those people who never intended to pass through those doors. [Source: Encyclopedia of Victimology and Crime Prevention; Victim-Witness Projects]
