Journal Title: Scholars International journal of Law, Crime and Justice - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract:In the contemporary victimological research, there has been a substantial growth in the study of the aftereffects of crime on the victims and how to assist them. Apart from physical and financial loss, victims of crime suffer from emotional losses. Such emotional losses may be in the form of depression, lowering of self-esteem, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The traditional criminal justice administration is bed rocked on the concept that the victims of crime get justice when the accused is convicted and sentenced to imprisonment. In recent times experiences in many countries across the globe have shown that one of the effective way of addressing the needs of the crime victims is by establishing within the criminal justice system programs that will provide victims of crime social, financial, emotional and psychological support. Keywords: victimology, victims of crime, support services, victim assistance, compensation.
