Over the last 40 years, there has been a quiet revolution in the constitutional rights of
crime victims. In 1982, Ronald Reagan convened the President's Task Force on Victims
of Crime, which ultimately recommended an amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Though congressional resolutions to advance such an amendment never gained
enough traction, the effort gave rise to a national campaign to amend state
constitutions. Today 37 states grant victims certain rights to participate or seek
restitution in criminal cases.
