Seminar Rights of Victims: a step forward
Every year, 75 million fall victims to crime in the European Union (EU). Roughly 15% of the EU's population is yearly the direct victim of serious criminality.
By themselves these numbers should set victims' needs as a priority to EU's and Member States policies. The most recent EU legislation mirrors this perspective.
Will the Member States respond accordingly?
And what new challenges arise for national agencies and organizations?
What are the cross-cutting issues at stake?
All in all, what do these victims really need?
The Seminar Victims' Rights: a step forward attempts to answer all these questions and more. It is especially aimed at judicial practitioners, police officers and victim support workers.
