Compensation for Victims of Crimes Act

The Compensation for Victims of Crimes Act provides financial assistance to individuals harmed by crimes. It offers support for expenses like medical bills, therapy, or lost income due to the crime. The aim is to help victims recover and rebuild their lives. Applicants typically need to demonstrate the crime occurred and that they were directly affected. This act ensures that victims receive fair compensation regardless of the offender's identity, focusing on alleviating the financial impact of criminal acts in a structured, accessible manner.
