Preferred term
victim impact statements
Definition
- Victim impact statements are written and/or oral statements that describe the impact a crime has had on the victim and those close to her or him. In a criminal justice system structured around the state and the defendant, victim impact statements offer a brief shift from the concerns of the parties to the effect of the crime on the person most directly harmed.
