Summary
This page from a law review article discusses the rights of crime victims to access presentence reports under the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) to ensure accurate restitution. The author recounts their testimony before the Sentencing Commission and counters arguments from the Practitioners' Advisory Group, which opposed victim access to these reports. The text argues that legislative history supports broad rights for victims to be heard and informed.
