Does section 13967(c) of the California Criminal Code require a defendant to pay restitution to victims who have suffered only economic loss as a result of their crimes?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Crow, 26 Cal.Rptr.2d 1, 6 Cal.4th 952, 864 P.2d 80 (Cal. 1993):

We recently rejected a similar contention in People v. Broussard (1993) 5 Cal.4th 1067, 22 Cal.Rptr.2d 278, 856 P.2d 1134. In that case, the trial court ordered the defendant to pay restitution to his crime victims for economic loss resulting from his conduct. Relying on section 13960, the defendant argued that because his victims had suffered no physical injuries, the restitution order was invalid. He contended that section 13960's definition of the [6 Cal.4th 960] term "victim"--which excludes persons who have suffered purely economic loss as a result of the defendant's criminal conduct--applied to the term "victim" as used in section 13967(c). Therefore, he argued, section 13967(c) did not permit the trial court to order him to pay restitution to victims who had suffered only economic loss as a result of his crimes.
