A judge is about to deliver a sentence. The prosecution has made their case. The defense has argued for leniency. But then, a victim impact statement is read aloud in the courtroom. Suddenly, everything changes.
Victim impact statements allow those affected by a crime to speak directly to the judge, describing how the offense has changed their lives. But how much influence should these statements have? Are they a vital part of justice, or do they introduce too much emotion into sentencing?
In this video, we break down how victim impact statements work, how they shape sentencing, and why they remain controversial. We also examine real-life cases, expert opinions, and how different countries regulate these statements.
Should courts put more limits on victim statements, or do they provide necessary justice? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
