About Victim Services

The Maricopa County Attorney's Office is firmly committed to honoring and respecting the rights of crime victims as detailed in Section 2.1 of the Arizona State Constitution and crime victim related statutes. We offer a variety of services to ensure that these rights are upheld, including:

- Crime victims are entitled, upon request, to receive notice of certain proceedings related to the defendant who committed the crime.

- If you suffered a financial loss as a result of a crime, the defendant can be ordered to reimburse you as part of the sentence imposed by the Court.

- Crime victims may be eligible to receive funds administered by Arizona's Crime Victim Compensation Program to cover out-of-pocket expenses related to a crime.

Arizona law also guarantees victims' rights for businesses and neighborhood associations.
