Protecting The Vulnerable: A Study Of Victim Rights And Compensation In The Indian Criminal Justice System

Abstract

This paper explores the complex terrain of victim rights and compensation in the Indian criminal justice system. This study analyses the current legal structure, policy measures, and difficulties in protecting the rights and well-being of victims of crime. The study examines the efficacy of victim compensation systems, the role of victim support services, and the degree to which victims' rights are implemented in reality.

The research seeks to analyse the experiences of victims and stakeholders in order to identify shortcomings in the system and propose methods to improve victim protection and empowerment. This study ultimately adds to the continuing discussion on constructing a criminal justice system in India that prioritises the needs and rights of victims.
