Ohio crime victims rights law adds on the spot aid
Editorial notes Ohio's new victims rights law, effective July 1, requires authorities to provide victims with information on medical, counseling, housing and emergency services, describe the crime victims compensation program, and share contact numbers for officers and prosecutors. It also mandates notice of arrests, pretrial release details, and return of seized property, while warning the increased workload and costs. Critics warn against overemphasizing victim statements in sentencing, cautions from ACLU about potential bias, and reaffirm that the accused should remain central to trials despite potential healing for victims.
