What is the current state of the law on restitution for abuse of a victim?

"[W]hen a defendant is convicted of a crime involving a victim who 'has suffered economic loss as a result of defendant's conduct' [citation], the court must require the defendant to pay full restitution directly to the victim or victims of the crime 'unless it finds compelling and extraordinary reasons for not doing so, and states those reasons on the record.' [Citation.] A 'defendant has the right to a hearing before a judge to dispute the determination of the amount of restitution.' " (People v. Giordano (2007) 42 Cal.4th

' " (People v. Cain (2000) 82 Cal.App.4th 81, 86.) "We review the trial court's restitution order for abuse of discretion." (People v. Chappelone (2010) 183 Cal.App.4th 1159, 1173.)
