LANSING – Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel recently launched a webpage aimed at educating crime victims of their rights and guiding them through the legal process after a crime is reported. The webpage, as the Attorney General explains in a video, serves as a comprehensive resource, providing critical information to those affected by a crime.

“Ensuring crime victims have access to the support and information they need is one of my main goals as Michigan’s Attorney General,” Nessel said. “The Crime Victim Rights webpage will serve as a vital tool in empowering victims to report crimes, connecting them with resources, and guiding them through the legal process.”

The Crime Victim Rights webpage includes:

• A list of victims’ rights;
• Statewide victim support services and resources within the Department of Attorney General;
• Information on crime victim compensation;
• Guidance on victim advocates services; and
• An overview of the legal process for felony and misdemeanor cases.

The Crime Victim Rights webpage can be found on the Department of Attorney General’s website.
