Which Wisconsin Chapter covers Rights of victims and witnesses of crime?

• A. WI Chapter 949
• B. WI Chapter 948
• C. WI Chapter 950
• D. WI Chapter 947

Answer: (C)

Rights of victims and witnesses in Wisconsin criminal cases are organized in one statute chapter that lays out the protections, information, and participation rights those individuals have throughout the justice process. This chapter specifies things like being informed about case status and hearings, the right to be present and heard at proceedings, safety and privacy considerations, and access to restitution and victim services. Chapter 950 is the place that consolidates these protections, making it the best answer because it directly addresses victims’ and witnesses’ rights within the criminal justice system. Other chapters cover different topics—such as specific offenses or general procedures—but they don’t address victims’ and witnesses’ rights in the comprehensive, statutory way Chapter 950 does.
