ALBANY (AP) - New York is now allowing crime victims to go online and track when the defendant who attacked or otherwise harmed them is coming up for parole.

The state Division of Parole is putting the schedule of parole hearings a click away for the general public.

The upgraded Web site will also allow an easier, quicker way for victims to comment on whether a defendant deserves parole.

The Web site went live May 1. It's at http://parole.state.ny.us/offender/index.asp.
