crime victims compensation

Crime victims’ compensation is a government program that provides financial assistance to individuals injured or traumatized by violent crimes. It can help cover expenses such as medical bills, counseling, lost wages, and funeral costs. Eligibility typically requires reporting the crime promptly and cooperating with authorities. The goal is to support victims in rebuilding their lives when the offender cannot or will not provide financial restitution. This program is intended to ensure victims receive necessary aid regardless of their personal financial situation or whether the offender is prosecuted successfully.
