Abstract: The Crime Victims' Rights Act of 2004, 18 U.S.C. 3771
(CVRA), sets forth the rights of a Federal crime victim to file a
complaint against any Department of Justice employee who violated or
failed to provide rights established under the CVRA. The Department of
Justice has created the Office of the Victims' Rights Ombudsman to
receive and investigate complaints filed by Federal crime victims
against its employees and has implemented ``Procedures to Promote
Compliance with Crime Victims' Rights Obligations,'' 28 CFR 45.10. The
complaint process is not designed for the correction of specific
victims' rights violations but is instead used to request corrective or
disciplinary action against Department of Justice employees who may
have failed to provide rights to crime victims. The Department of
Justice will investigate the allegations in the complaint to determine
whether the employee used his or her ``best efforts'' to provide crime
victim rights. The Office of the Crime Victims Rights Ombudsman does
not administer crime victim funds or provide services.
