Support for Victims of Crime in Asia (Routledge Law in Asia)

Support for Victims of Crime in Asia is a comprehensive guide that explores the recent developments in victim support across various countries in Asia, including Thailand, Korea, Taiwan, Japan, India, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

This book examines the constitutional provisions, compensation schemes, and involvement of victims in decisions regarding offenders' punishment.

It provides an insightful account of how these countries have made significant progress in supporting victims of crime, despite the widely-held belief that Asian jurisdictions shy away from a rights-based approach.

The book is well-assembled and original, providing valuable contributions to the field of comparative scholarship.

It will be of interest to academics, policymakers, victim support workers, and other criminal justice stakeholders.
