James Fleck: Many state laws require criminal defendants to pay restitution to their victims and/or to the state for harm directly caused by the defendant's crimes. Such laws are generally enacted to provide compensation for a broad array of costs resulting from crimes such as fraud, personal injury, death or property damage. When determining costs, courts often consider victim expenses resulting from, among others, the inability to be gainfully employed; physical and/or psychological rehabilitation; and burial expenses. Sometimes, where feasible, defendants may be ordered to return property.
