The Victim and Witness Protection Act of 1982 primarily focuses on ensuring the rights and protections of victims and witnesses in the criminal justice system, such as the right to receive information about the criminal proceedings and protections from intimidation. However, it does not grant victims and witnesses the right to participate in legal proceedings as parties or to influence the prosecution's decisions. Their role is generally limited to providing testimony and support rather than direct involvement in the legal process.
