Steve Twist has worked to promote victims' rights for more than 30 years, providing assistance to Congress, state legislatures, tribal governments, and local organizations in implementing victims' rights statutes and amendments.

Twist believes the one thing that the victims' rights field has not fully used to its benefit is "hard-edge" legal advocacy to set precedents.

"We need lawyers who will stand up in courtrooms representing crime victims and say, 'Your Honor, you can't do this'.”
