Abstract

Victimology, as a field within criminology, focuses on the experiences, rights, and support mechanisms available to individuals affected by crime. This article explores the intersection of victimology and criminal justice, examining evolving perspectives on victim rights and the critical support systems that empower and aid victims. It discusses the historical context of victim treatment in legal systems, the emergence of victim rights legislation, the role of restorative justice in healing, and the importance of comprehensive victim support services. Challenges in accessing services and disparities in support are also addressed, alongside future directions for enhancing victim-centered approaches in criminal justice.
