Justice for Victims of Crime

More about the book

Focusing on the rights of crime victims, this analysis critiques the traditional view of crime as a state-versus-offender issue, neglecting the victim's role. It highlights inconsistencies in incorporating victims' procedural rights within a criminal justice system that often overlooks their experiences. The author advocates for redefining crime as a violation of human rights, suggesting that the state's punitive authority should shift towards empowering victims to seek justice while ensuring offenders are held accountable.
