In 1982, President Ronald Reagan's Task Force on Victims of Crime released its final report which detailed the concerns of victims' rights advocates, claiming that "the innocent victims of crime have been overlooked, their pleas for justice have gone unheeded, and their wounds - personal, emotional, financial - have gone unattended."[8] The report contained 68 recommendations for service providers and government officials, many of which are mandated through victims' rights legislation today.[9] The report included a recommendation for a victims' rights amendment to the U.S. Constitution.[10]
