Does section 13967, subdivision (c) of the California Constitution allow a victim to recover any time he or she suffers as a result of the crime?

Our conclusion is also supported by our consideration of the legislative history pertaining to section 13967, subdivision (c). The legislature adopted section 13967, subdivision (c) to further implement article I, section 28, subdivision (b) of the California Constitution, adopted by initiative in 1982, "proclaim[ing] the People's intent that 'all persons who suffer losses as a result of criminal activity shall have the right to restitution from the persons convicted of the crimes for losses they suffer. [p] Restitution shall be ordered from the convicted persons in every case, regardless of the sentence or disposition imposed, in which a crime victim suffers a loss, unless compelling and extraordinary reasons exist to the contrary.' " (People v. Broussard, supra, 1 Cal.App.4th, 339, 2 Cal.Rptr.2d 22.) ⁵ The voters' expressed intent underlying the legislature's enactment of section 13967, subdivision (c) that a victim is to recover any time he or she "suffers a loss" requires us to construe the words "as a result of" broadly in favor of the victim. It would be contrary to such purpose to impose a "direct" causation requirement before a court may order restitution to be paid directly to a victim.
