Welcome to Your Rights!

Victims' Rights in Arkansas lack standing. All law enforcement agencies are to provide, inform, and explain victims' rights. Law Enforcement includes: police, prosecuting attorneys, post prison transfer, and any holding facilities. Arkansas Victims' Rights laws exist via state statute. By law, all law enforcement agencies are to provide, inform, and explain victims' rights to victims of crime.

Victim Responsibility: Victims must request the rights they want to use at each stage of the process. This requires victims to notify police agencies, prosecuting attorney offices, victim advocates, post prison transfer/probation agencies, and post-conviction agencies of each right the victim wants to put into action.

Victims must ask for each right they want to use at each stage of the process.

“Victims deserve to be informed of their rights while treated with fairness, dignity and respect.”
