Helping Crime Victims Get The Services They Need. This brochure highlights assistance available from the Attorney General's Office of Victims' Services. En Español

A Victim's Guide to the Capital Case Process. Provides crime victims and the general public with a comprehensive guide to the death penalty appellate process. This guide developed by the Office of Victims' Services seeks to clearly explain the capital appeals process from the original trial through to the execution. In California, death penalty appeals may take between 12 and 20 years to reach resolution due to constitutional safeguards guaranteed each inmate. These delays often cause frustration for surviving victims and their families.

Women's Rights Handbook. Here is information from the chapter on violent crimes against women and children. Specifically, it concentrates on sexual assault; battering of spouses, cohabitants and the parents of one's children; and child and elder abuse. This chapter discusses the legal definitions of each of these violent acts, and gives information on the legal, medical and counseling resources available to survivors of such abuse.
