Welcome to the Counter Transnational Organized Crime (CTOC) Training Module 18.You will need an internet connection with the ability to download files and stream videos with sound in order to complete this Module.
A human victim of crime can make a victim impact statement alerting the court to the harm he or she has suffered as a result of the crime. Non-human victims of wildlife crime have no similar voice in court. In the absence of training in ecology and conservation science, it is difficult for prosecutors and judges to assess the impact of wildlife crime. Where harms are underestimated, defendants receive inadequate sentences that do not effectively deter wildlife offending. Species Victim Impact Statements (SVIS) have been developed to help investigators, lawyers and judges understand the real impact of wildlife crimes. This module explains the concept of Species Victim Impact Statements and how to use them at court.
