Information about charges filed when the suspect has been arrested
Details on victim support resources
Information on the trial's outcome

The correct answer is: Information about charges filed when the suspect has been arrested

A victim is entitled to information about charges filed when the suspect has been arrested because individuals impacted by crime have a right to be informed about the criminal proceedings relevant to their case. This includes details such as the nature of the charges and any subsequent actions taken by law enforcement or the judicial system. Providing this information helps victims understand the legal process and their role within it, assisting them in navigating the criminal justice system and allowing them to prepare appropriately for any involvement in the case. While victims may also be interested in resources related to support or outcomes of the trial, the specific entitlement to information about charges filed directly pertains to their direct involvement and the progression of the case involving the suspect they are concerned about. In many jurisdictions, laws exist that mandate communication to victims regarding such legal actions, reinforcing the victims' rights to stay informed throughout the legal process.
