Guide for Victims of Crime

In Canada, victims of crime have rights protected by the law. This guide will help you know what to do if something is stolen from you, if you are threatened or harassed, or if you are physically or sexually assaulted.

For more information, view the guide: Guide for Victims of Crime

Victim Impact Statement

A VIS gives you a chance to tell the court how you have been affected by crime. It is up to you to decide if you want to complete one. Contact Foothills Regional Victim Services if you have any questions about submitting the VIS.

For more information, view the brochure: Victim Impact Statement

Restitution

Restitution is a way for the offender to repay you if you have lost money, property, or had extra expenses because of a crime. You have the right to have the court consider ordering restitution.
