Crime Victims Council
Overview
The Wisconsin Crime Victims Council is a 15-member body created by the legislature that operates under Wis. Stat. 15.257(2). Council members are appointed to three year staggered terms by the attorney general. Of the fifteen members, ten are citizen appointees, two represent organizations that provide victim services, and one each represents law enforcement, district attorneys and the judiciary.
- The Council develops and implements projects, conducts research, and makes recommendations to the attorney general on public safety issues that impact victims of crime.
- The Council has historically held a strong focus on the meaningful provision of victims' statutory and constitutional rights. Currently, the Council is engaged a project to get feedback from partners in the field about legislative or policy changes needed for the meaningful implementation of the recently amended Victims of Crime constitutional language ("Marsy's Law"):
Marsy's Law Implementation Project Goals and Objectives (July 2020)
Results of Stakeholder Survey (September 2020)
- Every April, the Council co-hosts a Crime Victims Rights Week Ceremony with the Office of the Attorney General to commemorate National Crime Victims Rights Week.
