<\/span>Victim Compensation and Victimology in India<\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Introduction<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The criminal justice system in society, has evolved as a result of a shift from private vengeance, to justice rendered by the state. The shift in focus removes the victims from the main picture, and makes them a secondary player. Soon, all the systems adjusted around the accused, their rights and punishments, and away from the rights and losses of victims. Losses suffered by them were removed from consideration. A dangerous assumption that the victims\u2019 interests were identical to the state\u2019s interests came about. Thus, it becomes the responsibility of the state to bring them back into focus, and make justice more victim centric. In a society where the victims are not allowed to take justice into their own hands, State should be held liable for failing to protect the victims’ rights.<\/p>
