Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has introduced a new online resource designed to support crime victims by informing them of their rights and assisting them through the legal process following a crime report. The webpage, which Nessel explains in an accompanying video, is intended as a comprehensive guide offering essential information for those impacted by crime.

"Ensuring crime victims have access to the support and information they need is one of my main goals as Michigan’s Attorney General," Nessel stated.

Key features of the Crime Victim Rights webpage include:

- A list of victims' rights

- Statewide victim support services and resources available within the Department of Attorney General

- Information on crime victim compensation

- Guidance on victim advocate services
