Why is it important?
The research found that the Vietnamese criminal justice system provides weak legal protection of crime victims’ rights and victims’ rights that have tended to be neglected in criminal proceedings. The author proposes some suggestions to better amend the system of criminal procedure law and promote victims’ rights in practice.
Perspectives
This research aims to evaluate how victims of crime are treated by the Vietnamese criminal justice system by looking at both legal regulations on crime victims’ rights protection and victims’ personal experiences of their rights.
