"REMEDIATION" MEANS TREATMENT FOR SPECIFIC AREAS OF MENTAL AND
SOCIAL DEFICIENCIES THAT ARE HIGHLY RELATED TO CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection formerly was Art. 31B, § l(i).

The only changes are in style.

(I) VICTIM.

"VICTIM" MEANS:

(1) AN INDIVIDUAL WHO SUFFERS PERSONAL PHYSICAL INJURY OR
DEATH AS A DIRECT RESULT OF A CRIME; OR

(2) IF THE VICTIM IS DECEASED, A DESIGNATED FAMILY MEMBER OF
THE VICTIM.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection formerly was Art. 31B, § 1(k).

In item (1) of this subsection, the reference to an "individual" is substituted
for the former reference to "person" because only a human being, and not
the other entities included in the defined term "person", can suffer
personal physical injury or death. See § 1-101 of this article for the
definition of "person".

No other changes are made.
