Privacy Immigration Physical Safety Education ... Criminal Justice Legal Options for Victims Physical Safety Concerns for Sexual Assault Victims If you have been raped or sexually assaulted, it is normal to feel afraid and unsafe after the assault. Most rape and sexual assault victims feel afraid for months or even years after the assault. This is especially true if something happens to remind you of the assault. Additionally, if you are still having contact with the perpetrator, or have potential ongoing contact, you may still be in danger. If the perpetrator knows where you live, work, or attend church or school, or If the perpetrator has made a threat to harm you again if you tell anyone, you should immediately talk to someone about your safety. All of the agencies listed ( Local Rape Crisis Centers National Crisis Hotlines Domestic Violence Programs Local Police ) can help provide information regarding protective orders.

Fifty Years in the Making: World War II Reparation and Restitution Claims Purchase this edition now! The Stefan A. Riesenfeld Symposium 2001: Fifty Years in the Making: World War II Reparation and Restitution Claims was held on March 8th and 9th, 2001. The Symposium focused on claims against both European and Asian actors, governmental as well as private. The Second World War, including the years leading up to it, witnessed the most gruesome human rights violations in history. Millions died and an entire people came to the brink of extermination. Considering the magnitude of the horror that occurred, one can question whether reparations can ever vindicate the War’s victims. However, the right of victims to strive for justice, even after the passage of a half of a century, is more difficult to deny. The Nuremberg and Tokyo Tribunals of 1946 punished persons who had committed crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. The judgments of the two tribunals established important precedents by declaring that war criminals could not go unpunished. However, these tribunals failed to address the issue of reparations for millions of victims. Only the past decade witnessed the full emergence of claims for such reparations against both private and government actors. However, although these claims seek to bring justice to the victims and their families for what remain the most tragic human rights violations in history, numerous legal questions surrounding them remain open for discussion and debate.

Sponsored Links From our sponsors: Practitioner Continuing Education Online Substance Abuse and Domestic Violence advertisement Substance Abuse Treatment and Domestic Violence 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.) Federal Law The Violence Against Women Act VAWA is a civil rights statute that was passed as part of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act (Public Law 103-322). Besides strengthening prevention and prosecution of violent crimes against women and children, the law made domestic violence a civil rights violation. What this means is that a victim of "crimes of violence motivated by gender" can bring a suit for damages in civil court in addition to any charges made in criminal court.

T. Rex's Guide to Life American Society Issues Abuse of Women and Children Government should do everything possible to end the abuse of women and children. The enforcement of restraining orders should be a priority of the government. Abusers should face the maximum possible punishments and should receive life prison sentences for repeat offenses. Airplane Security Guns should not be allowed on airplanes, not even in the possession of pilots or marshals. Anyone whose job deals directly with national security should be a federal government employee. Alcohol Sales of alcohol should be legal in all states, cities and counties and the legal drinking age should be 16 with parental or judicial consent or 18 otherwise. American Bar Association Judicial Review The ABA should be reinstated as a filter for judicial nominees. Community Policing Police officers should live in the areas that they patrol as much as possible and should spend more time on the beat and less time in cars or in offices. This is one of the best ways to help alleviate crime, police brutality and mistrust of law enforcement. Community Rights Communities have the right to know when violent criminals move into their neighborhood, but they do not have the right to deny legally-obtained housing to criminals who have served their sentences.

Fall 1995 What the New Civil-Rights Law Can Mean to You If you are ever the victim of a crime of violence motivated by gender bias, the civil-rights provision in the new Violence Against Women Act can help send these messages loud and clear... You are not alone. One of the most powerful forces keeping women subjugated is the fact that individual victims' experiences seem isolated, which keeps women from making common cause and encourages those who are violated because they are women to personally blame themselves. But as women begin to bring civil-rights actions under the Violence Against Women Act, their cumulative cases will expose the commonness and pervasiveness of these violations. Widespread use of the VAWA civil-rights remedy will also "de-sensationalize" extreme cases of discriminatory violence, showing that such violence occurs routinely and in a variety of forms. Your abuse was not random. A civil-rights remedy links violence against women with the historical context of that violence. VAWA defendants will no doubt try to portray their violence as random, personal, or quirky. But the civil-rights remedy will help women prove that the violence against them reflects broader patterns of discrimination and oppression. In this way, the civil-rights approach expresses the value of all women as well as the integrity of each individual victim. What happened to you is no joke.

The overview that follows might suggest that the administration of justice is an orderly flow that begins with the investigation of a criminal offense and ends with a prison sentence. However, due to the specific circumstances of each case, some proceed more quickly than others. INTRODUCTION Criminal justice in the United States exists to control and prevent crime. Criminal cases are those that involve the commission of acts that are prohibited by law and punishable by a jail or prison sentence. Law enforcement agencies are charged with the prevention of crime and the apprehension of criminal offenders. Courts have the duty to assure justice and due process through determining innocence or guilt of the accused and sentencing those who are convicted. The role of correctional agencies in this process involves the control, custody and supervision of persons convicted of crime. LAW ENFORCEMENT INVESTIGATION ... THE PROCESS BEGINS

Federal Domestic Violence Laws Issues and Answers Violence and abuse at the hands of a loved one is frightening, degrading and confusing. Have you experienced this violence and abuse? If so, you are a victim of domestic violence. You are also the victim of a crime. Despite your conflicting emotions, the legal system may be one of the most effective ways to protect yourself and your children. In 1994, Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act ("VAWA") . This Act, and the 1996 additions to the Act, recognize that domestic violence is a national crime and that federal laws can help an overburdened state and local criminal justice system. In 1994 and 1996, Congress also passed changes to the Gun Control Act making it a federal crime in certain situations for domestic abusers to possess guns. The majority of domestic violence cases will continue to be handled by your state and local authorities. In some cases, however, the federal laws and the benefits gained from applying these laws may be the most appropriate course of action. This page is designed to provide practical information on the available federal domestic violence laws and penalties and the rights of federal crimes.
