protection: Victims would have the right to have their security and privacy considered at
all stages of the criminal justice process, to have reasonable and necessary measures
to protect them from intimidation and retaliation, and to request their identity be
protected from public disclosure. Right to participation: Victims would have the right to
convey their views about decisions to be made by criminal justice professionals and
have them considered at various stages of the criminal justice process and to present a
victim impact statement. Right to restitution: Victims would have the right to have the
court consider making a restitution order for all offences for which there are easy-to-
calculate financial losses.
