Abstract

Every crime has at least three components that are Criminal or Offender, Crime, and Victim of Crime. Our criminal justice system is primarily focused on the offender as compared to the victim. The criminal proceedings are entirely at the initiation of the state. They do not depend upon the sweet will of the victim. Attention should be given to their sufferings and needs to enable them to live in a society with honor, dignity, and respect. It is the responsibility of the state to prosecute offenders and provide retribution for offenses to the victims of crime. The study attempts to examine the trend of compensation to victims that are being awarded to victims of a crime under Section 357 and Section 357-A of the Code of Criminal Procedure 1973.
