CENTER FOR L AW & P UBLIC P OLICY ON SEXUAL VIOLENCE National Crime Victim Law Institute at Lewis & Clark Law School 10015 SW Terwilliger Boulevard Portland, OR 97219 www.ncvli.org Copyright © 2005 National Crime Victim Law Institute. This project was supported by Grant No. 2003-WT-BX-KO13 awarded by the Office on Violence Against Women, U.S. Department of Justice. Points of view in this document are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official position or policies of the U.S. Department of Justice. 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In 2003, the Center for Law and Public Policy Against Sexual Violence (CLPPS), a project of the National Crime Victim Law Institute (NCVLI) at Lewis & Clark Law School in Portland, Oregon, received a grant from the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) to assist sexual assault and dual (domestic violence and sexual assault) coalition staff attorneys across the United States. Under the auspices of the OVW grant, the Sexual Assault Coalition Technical Assistance Project (SACTAP) was launched. The OVW grant also funded the development of legal resources for coalitions working on difficult systemic advocacy issues in the civil and criminal justice systems. This guide, Rights and Remedies: Meeting the Civil Legal Needs of Sexual Violence Survivors, is the result of the collaboration of many individuals and organizations that have lent their time and expertise to this project. This guide is best utilized in conjunction with its companion manual, A Criminal Justice Guide: Legal Remedies for Adult Victims of Sexual Violence, which addresses victims’ rights and remedies in the criminal arena. Jessica Mindlin and Liani Jean Heh Reeves are grateful to the many individuals who have contributed to the writing, editing, and production of this guide: Valenda Applegarth, Greater Boston Legal Services; James A. Ferguson and Marnie Shiels of the National Crime Victim Bar Association; Ryan Hagemann, Secretary of the Oregon State Board of Higher Education; Ed Johnson of the Oregon Law Center; Joyce Noche of Legal Momentum; and Robin Runge of the American Bar Association. The SACTAP Advisory Board for their input at all stages of the development process: Kari Robinson of the Alaska Network Against Domestic and Sexual Violence; Lyn Schollett of the Illinois Coalition Against Sexual Assault; Eva Shiffrin of the Wisconsin Coalition Against Sexual Assault; Mary Lee Perry of the Kentucky Association of Sexual Assault Programs; and Sarah Deer of the Tribal Law & Policy Institute. Current and former Lewis & Clark law students Amy Arnett; Stacey Borgman; Carolyn Bys; Caroline Kincaid; Jodee Leroux; Monica Patel; and Nate Pliska. NCVLI Administrative Assistant Julie Hawkins. 3 A Word on Language For simplicity, the terms “victim” and “survivor” are used interchangeably throughout this guide, and a victim or survivor is generally referred to in the feminine form. We recognize that both women and men are victims of sexual violence. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, however, “[m]ost rapes and sexual assaults are committed against females. Female victims accounted for 94% of all completed rapes, 91% of all attempted rapes, and 89% of all completed and attempted sexual assaults.” BJS, 1992- 2000, http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/pub/pdf/rsarp00.pdf (last referenced August 30, 2005). Disclaimer This guide is current as of September 2005. The guide is intended as a toolkit to provide the attorneys served under the SACTAP project with a framework and checklist of issues to include when creating their own, state-specific, civil legal remedies guide. Nothing herein constitutes legal advice, and each coalition attorney must look to his or her own state or tribal law to create a comprehensive guide. While many individuals and organizations generously contributed to this guide, the authors and the National Crime Victim Law Institute alone are responsible for any errors. 4 CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 17 CHAPTER ONE: SAFETY AND PROTECTION 20 I.

  • New Directions in Victims' Rights
    SECTION I New Directions in Victims’ Rights he backbone of our justice system is the laws that give it shape and coherence. For T many years, victims of crime were unrecog- nized in criminal and juvenile justice laws. To the extent victims of crime had a role in the justice system, it was narrow; to the extent victims had rights, they were few. This section examines the nation’s progress in enacting laws to establish and enforce rights for crime victims. It is based upon papers submitted by leading experts in the field as well as the input of countless victim advocates, justice system professionals, crime victims, and others at public hearings and in working groups. This section reviews the nation’s progress in the past two decades toward establishing state and federal rights for victims of crime, including a fed- eral constitutional amendment to guarantee those rights. It also presents recommendations from the field for ensuring that victims’ rights, including fundamental rights for victims of juvenile offenders, are expanded and enforced within the American justice system. Chapter 1: Victims’ Rights CHAPTER 1 Victims’ Rights Victims’ Rights: Two Decades of Dramatic Change The enactment of the nation’s first state bill of rights for crime victims Let us make sure that we in 1980 in Wisconsin ushered in an era of dramatic progress for victims’ rights.1 In 1982, the passage of the federal Victim and Witness Protection give our victims the right Act2 and the release of the Final Report of the President’s Task Force on to be heard—not in some Victims of Crime brought national prominence to crime victims’ concerns.

Laws must be consistent with international human rights norms and standards, legally certain, legally transparent, drafted with procedural transparency, and publicly promulgated.190 3is end state requires equal enforcement and equality before the law, independent adjudication of the law, fairness in the application of the law, and avoidance of arbitrariness.
