To ensure that a victim is not excluded from a delinquency or youthful offender proceeding unless, after hearing from the victim and for good cause shown, the reason for exclusion is clearly and specifically stated on the record, to protect the right afforded to a crime victim to be heard by the court prior to the acceptance of a plea agreement and prior to sentencing, to require a police officer to present an informational card concerning victim services and rights to any crime victim at the scene of a crime, to ensure that when a defendant is adjudged to be a youthful offender, the crime victim has the opportunity to address the court regarding any plea agreement and prior to sentencing, and to allow the court to issue a protective order in a criminal case not involving a familial relationship between the accused and the crime victim where the court determines that such order is necessary and appropriate for the protection of the crime victim.
