State of the Criminal Justice System Dashboard

Victims and Survivors

Ensuring the criminal justice system respects victims’ and survivors’ rights and addresses their needs is a core outcome for the criminal justice system. This outcome is measured by how satisfied victims/survivors are with the system and by whether they participate in the system. The low number of indicators under this outcome underscores the need to improve data collection and reporting efforts for victims’ and survivors’ rights and needs.
