The rights, support and protection of victims of crime

This procedure establishes common minimum standards across the EU to ensure that victims of crime are treated fairly and with respect. It aims to provide victims with the necessary support and protection, regardless of their nationality or where the crime occurred, ensuring a consistent level of justice across member states.

This affects law enforcement, judicial authorities, and support services. It grants victims specific rights, such as the right to be informed about the progress of their case and access to specialized support services.
