Criminal Law
This project involves an examination of the existing mechanisms for compensating victims of crime for harm, loss or damage suffered as the result of that crime. The project will consider the adequacy of these mechanisms and make proposals for any changes that may be necessary or desirable. The project will also consider the recommendations relating to victims’ compensation in the Justice and Electoral Committee’s report, Inquiry into Victims’ Rights. A final report will be published in March 2010.
