OFFICE OF VICTIMS' RIGHTS INVESTIGATIONS
The
Office of Victims' Rights (OVR) has the statutory authority to conduct
investigations of complaints from crime victims that they have been denied
the rights they are guaranteed under Alaska's constitution and laws of
this state. Within a reasonable time after an investigation is completed,
and after the OVR reports their opinion and recommendations to a criminal
justice agency, Alaska statute 24.65.160 authorizes the OVR to present
their investigative findings, opinions and recommendations to the governor,
the legislature, a grand jury, the public, or any of these. Listed below
are the results of investigations by the OVR.
