A non-profit organization working for victims’
rights. NVRCAN proposed a federal constitutional
amendment that would provide victims of crime with
rights such as notification of the public proceedings
of the offender and the right to attend those proceedings,
the right to be heard at public release, sentencing,
and pardon proceedings, and just and timely
claims to restitution from the offender. NVCRN has
lobbied Congress for support on this amendment and
testified before congressional committees. They are
working on a National Victims’ Rights Educational
Project, in which they will help push victims’ rights
in a variety of states with and without victims’ rights
legislation, including developing fact sheets,
brochures, etc.
