Guide to Filing a Claim for Enforcement of Crime Victims' Rights
This guide explains how to complete and file the form for the "Claim of Violation of Crime Victims' Rights".
Victims' Rights Request Form
A crime victim may use this form to request the twelve rights that only become rights if requested. The form has two sides or pages. The first side or page may be returned directly to the district attorney typically through the Victim Assistance Program, or to the juvenile department involved with the case. The second side or page does not get returned to anyone. A victim must contact the specific agency identified in the second side/page right in order for the right(s) to go into effect. Legal authority for the Rights Request Form can be found here.
Victims' Rights Notification Cards
These cards are designed for law enforcement officers to give crime victims initial notice of most of their rights under the Oregon constitution. The cards also provides other information that may be useful to crime victims early in a case.
In order to offer as much contact information as possible, we divided Oregon into three regions, each with twelve counties. Each of these three regions has notification cards available in six languages. To find your region, please see the map below:
