If you want victims rights today, an amendment is the only sure way to go. I recall all too vividly the days of -for want of a better term- "criminals rights" when the victim was all but ignored and it seemed sometimes blamed -"If he hadn't had all that money that he earned on his job, my client would never have robbed him."
The pendulum could just as easily swing again. People who get their news from "Opra" and People Magazine, rarely make critical judgements.
