Crime Victims’ Rights

An amendment to the Oregon State Constitution guarantees victims the right to be reasonably protected. This includes:

• Requiring judges to consider victim and public safety when making release decisions.
• Restricting bail for certain violent felony charges when safety concerns exist.
• Limiting early release when there is risk to victims or the public.
• Ensuring jury eligibility standards are met.
