Opis

In the book work entitled "Crime Victim Support Services in Bangladesh", Information and data were collected from mixed methods. The main objective of this book was to determine whether services provided to the victims for their facilities, treatment/medication and rehabilitation by different government/non-government organizations were veritable at all. At the same time, socio-economic background and demographic characteristics of the victims have also been revealed. This book showed that the number of victims has increased gradually due to socio-economic, political and cultural realities in Bangladesh, but the number of victim support centers has not increased as expected. The absence of follow-up services and lack of restorative justice are hampering reunification and rehabilitation activities in society, as a result, most of the victims cannot enjoy the benefits of this program. It seems apparent to urgently enact distinct legislation, increase the number of Victim Support Centers, expand the area and purview of services and take initiative to increase public awareness and create a mass movement.
