"Victim" means any natural person against whom any crime has been perpetrated or attempted, unless the person is accountable for the crime or a crime arising from the same conduct, criminal episode, or plan as crime is defined under the laws of this state or of the United States, or, if such person is deceased or incapacitated, the person's spouse, parent, child, sibling, grandparent, significant other, or other lawful representative. Any person under the age of eighteen years is considered incapacitated, unless that person is legally emancipated. It is the intent of the general assembly that this definition of the term "victim" shall apply only to the Victim Rights Act and shall not be applied to any other provision of the laws of the state of Colorado that refer to the term "victim".
The purpose of a Victim Services Unit is to provide comprehensive support and assistance to individuals who have experienced trauma, violence, or victimization. These units are dedicated to ensuring that victims are provided with the necessary resources, information, and emotional support throughout the various stages of their journey towards healing and justice. Victim Services Units aim to empower survivors, offering them a safe and non-judgmental space where they can share their experiences, and access counseling, advocacy, and legal guidance. By offering practical aid, emotional support, and education, these specialized units play a pivotal role in helping victims rebuild their lives, regain their sense of security, and find a path towards recovery and resilience. Through their tireless efforts, Victim Services Units strive to address the unique needs and challenges faced by victims, promoting their rights and well-being within the criminal justice system and society as a whole.
