CONCEPTUAL DEFINITION OF VICTIM AND THE RELATIONSHIP OF INTERNATIONAL LAW TO VICTIMS

Abstract

The victim is not interested in the theory of criminal law. The examination of the reasons should begin with a functional analysis of the aims of criminal law. The remark that victimology was conceived as a criminological category, which in one sense leads to the conclusion that the position of the victim is necessarily measured by the goals of criminal law in terms of special and general prevention, narrows the interest of classical criminal law theory to the victim. In this scientific paper, the author talks about the concept of victim, both from the criminal and criminal law aspect, as well as from the linguistic one. Emphasis was also placed on the types of victims, as well as the notion of the same in domestic and comparative law, with special reference to International law.
