Question 18

In this chapter there is a section titled Improving Victim Awareness. There is a brief description of what a victim impact panel is. In the past two decades, there have been vast improvements on how victims are treated in the criminal justice process.

In cases of domestic violence and homicide, victims or victim's families are usually welcome to appear at the very first appearance and be heard. They can give reasons why the defendant should not be released from custody.

What might be a reason why a victim would not be allowed to express her feelings to a jury during sentencing?
