Does the sex offender know that the victim has submitted a written impact statement in the classification?
Yes, the law requires us to provide a copy of every document in our file to the offender. Therefore, the victim impact statement is available to the offender. However prior to giving it to the offender, we DELETE all personal or identifying data from each statement. We’ll also work with victims upon request to provide suggestions on how to avoid inclusion of personal or identifying data in a statement.
