2. What processes would be required for this legislation to work in practice?
3. Does the section seem to have clear ways to enforce the victims' rights if violations occur?

5. What common victims' rights seem to be missing?
6. What are possible consequences of these missing rights?
7. What, if any, liabilities attach to those who violate these victims' rights? What recommendations would you make regarding possible liability of those who violate the rights of crime victims' under this law?
8. Conclusion: Summarize how this bill aligns with common victims' rights you have learned about in the course.
