Crime victims: restitution and compensation.

Existing law requires the court to order a person who is convicted of a crime to pay restitution to the victim for the full amount of economic loss, except as otherwise provided. Existing law requires the restitution order to be in an amount sufficient to fully reimburse the victim for every determined economic loss incurred as the result of the defendant's criminal conduct. Existing law authorizes the court to order a defendant convicted of a crime to make restitution to the victim for his or her expenses to install or increase residential security, including a home security device or system, or replacing or increasing the number of locks, if those expenses are incurred as a result of a violent felony. This bill would add the willful infliction of corporal injury upon a spouse, cohabitant, or other specified victim to the crimes for which this type of restitution for related home security costs is authorized.
