PROTECTING CRIME VICTIMS
The Attorney General's Office aggressively works to enforce criminal laws and protect crime victims. Among the cases the office handles are special prosecutions including capital murder cases, defending the state against inmate lawsuits through the Attorney
General's Litigation Division and working with state and federal legislators to reform laws that will protect Missourians.
The office has available a Crime Victims' Rights
booklet
as well as a booklet on Protecting Victims of Domestic
Violence.
To request notification of criminal appellate proceedings, crime victims and witnesses should complete a simple form available on
this website. The victim services division of the Attorney General's office will handle your request and notify you of upcoming court proceedings.
