Criminal Justice Platform – webinar on Victim’s Rights

On Wednesday, 7th July 2021 the webinar on Victim’s Rights took place.

Victims’ rights in Europe evolved in the past years, and the European Commission launched its first-ever Victims’ Rights Strategy in 2020.

What are the important elements of this Strategy? What are the implications for probation, prison, and restorative justice? How could these fields support victims’ rights and make their work more informed on victims’ needs? What about vulnerable victims, such as victims in detention?

This webinar explored the intersections between victims’ rights and offender reintegration, and that how these fields can mutually support each other.

 

Presentations:

Victims’ Rights – KMS Results – Gustav Tallving

Paths to Reintegration – Understanding Victimisation – Levent Altan

Victims of Violence in Detention – Laure Baudrihaye-Gerard
