Do all 50 states and the District of Columbia have statutory restitution programs?

Yes, all 50 states and the District of Columbia have statutory restitution programs that allow victims of crime to seek financial compensation from their offenders. These programs vary from state to state, but they all generally require offenders to pay for the costs of their crimes, including medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and emotional distress. In some states, restitution is mandatory for certain types of crimes, while in other states it is up to the judge to determine whether restitution is appropriate. Restitution can be a valuable tool for victims of crime, as it can help them to recover from their losses and to move on with their lives.
