Crime Victim's Reparations

 

Are You a Victim?
A victim of crime is a person who has suffered physical or emotional injury, or financial loss because of a crime. Victims of crime may have:
? been injured in a violent attack
? experienced a sexual assault, or
? been the subject of a robbery.

Crime often affects more than just the direct victim, click here for full text

Have you ever been a victim or a witness to a crime?
If so, you may be entitled to certain rights under Louisiana's Crime Victim Bill of Rights. 

How to Exercise the Rights Granted to You as a Victim and/or Witness
In order for a victim, or designated family member, to be eligible to receive notices and exercise the rights provided by law, the victim or designated family member must complete the Louisiana Victim Notice & Registration Form, which will be filed with the law enforcement agency investigating the offense of which the person is a victim of a crime defined as: Homicide, 1st Degree Murder, Manslaughter, Negligent Homicide, Vehicular Homicide, Vehicular Negligent Injuring, 1st Degree Vehicular Negligent Injuring, any Sexual Offense or other felony offense defined in L.R.S. 14:2(13).  Click here for more information.

Crime Victim Reparations
Victims of violence and their families must deal with emotional, physical, and financial aftermath of crime. The Louisiana Crime Victims Reparations Fund helps innocent victims and their families when they have no other means of paying for the financial cost of crime. The fund is administered by the Crime Victims Reparations Board under the jurisdiction of the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement.
