Summary
In the criminal justice system, the victim is a party whose rights, including the right to redress of harm, are protected by the Constitution and general principles of law. At the same time, the victim is obliged to participate in criminal proceedings in order to provide significant facts both for the investigation and for the person who has the right to defence. Therefore, this paper examines the role of the victim in achievement of the purpose of criminal proceedings: fair regulation of criminal legal relations.
