Victims
of crime suffer in many ways, including physical injury, emotional trauma,
social stigma, and financial loss. For a long time, the criminal justice system
mainly focused on punishing offenders and maintaining public order, while the
problems and needs of victims were largely ignored. As a result, many victims
were left without any form of support or relief, even after the offender was
punished. This situation created a serious gap in the delivery of justice. The
concept of compensation to victims emerged to address this imbalance and to
ensure that justice is meaningful and humane. Victim compensation refers to the
financial assistance provided to victims of crime by the court or the State to
help them recover from the harm they have suffered. This assignment explores
the idea of victim compensation as an important element of a victim-centric
justice system and explains how it contributes to social justice and legal
reform.
