VICTIM PROTECTION IN CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS (REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN AND UK)

Abstract

This article discusses the issues of compensation for harm caused to victims of crime. Damage is harm caused to the victim, which can violate both property and non-property rights. For example, causing harm to a person, resulting in a loss of income and entailing the need to bear the cost of treatment.

 Compensation for illegally inflicted harm (damage) is of paramount importance in criminal proceedings, due to the fact that it is here that law enforcement agencies have «levers of influence» to restrict the constitutional rights of a person and a citizen, intrude into personal life, resolving issues of property status and legal status.

The issue of compensation for property damage, elimination of the consequences of moral harm and the restoration of other rights of citizens illegally subjected to criminal prosecution, no matter how rare judicial or investigative errors in this area of activity, remains very relevant both in the Republic of Kazakhstan and in the UK.
