In every criminal prosecution today, it is the state versus the accused, but what about the individual victim of the crime? Do Texas crime victims deserve more rights, restitution, and most of all, a greater ability to influence prosecutions and sentencing? Are offender and victim rights really a zero-sum game, or can enhanced victim involvement lead to more restorative sentences and better offender outcomes?

The panel was moderated by Marc Levin, the director of the Center for Effective Justice at the Texas Public Policy Foundation.

Due to technical difficulties, the question-and-answer portion of the program is not available.
