Essay / Research Paper Abstract
10 pages in length. Re-establishing -- or in some cases establishing for the first time -- victim rights has sent a tidal wave of unprecedented movement throughout the criminal justice system. That victims have typically been forced to prove their innocence within a system that purports to protect those who have fallen prey to criminal activity has long spoken to the need for a global-wide re-evaluation of how the entire criminal justice process works. With the implementation of the restorative justice movement -- which is 'over two decades old and extends at least as far back as the mid-1970s...' (Immarigeon, 2001, p. PG) -- the rise of the victim has become a mantra for validating once more the essence of victim rights. Bibliography lists 18 sources.

formal justice system could ever allow, giving the opportunity for everyone affected by the crime - direct and indirect victims, offenders community of care, and the offenders themselves - to
explain the harm and seek repair" (Strang, 2002, p. 210). II. ADVANTAGES Women have long been the targets of sexual violence with
few resources in existence to help them legally address such abusive situations. In 2000, a bill named H.R. 1248 passed before the 106th Congress aimed at preventing violence against
women, "one of the most blatant manifestations of patriarchy" (Mananzan, 1995, pp. 64-70) that has no respect for race, color, class or nationality. Supporters of such legislation claimed that because
the negative impact of violence against women had reached such a broad scope of people, women had finally earned the chance for legal representation. No community is safe from
rape; inasmuch as such violence against women has reached such heights as to headline the evening news, the public has gained a broader understanding of the issue and now realizes
