PROTECTING THE RIGHTS
OF ALL OREGONIANS

YOUR CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM
Oregon DAs have always been leaders in reforming our criminal laws in order to protect the rights of victims and defendants. Compared to the 1980’s, Oregon is now one of the nation’s safest states. It was not an accidental turnaround; but instead reflects decades of hard work by dedicated public officials and citizens who recognized that our safety is the cornerstone of the vitality of our communities.
