“Dignity Denied: The Experience of Murder Victims’ Family Members Who Oppose the Death Penalty” (2002). This report released by Murder Victims’ Families for Reconciliation provides an account of the experiences of murder victims’ family members who oppose capital punishment and steps that can be taken to protect these individuals from discrimination based on this opposition. “Dignity Denied” challenges lawmakers, the federal government’s Office of Victims of Crime, and leaders within the victims’ services community to address past and current discrimination and commit to equitable treatment of survivors of homicide victims. Specifically, the report offers model legislation and recommends that victims’ rights laws be amended to ban unequal treatment based upon a victim’s position on the death penalty. It also states that victims’ services should be administered independently, not as part of the prosecutor’s office, and that leaders in the victims’ services community should develop protocols for serving victims’ families who oppose the death penalty.
