Abstract Globally, victim rights have experienced substantial changes as a result of changing legislative frameworks, human rights discussions, and policy initiatives. This study highlights significant developments, difficulties, and discrepancies in the protection of victim rights by comparing victimology trends across different jurisdictions. The study looks at legislative changes, historical trends, and the function of international organizations in harmonizing victim assistance programs. Emerging topics including victim compensation, restorative justice, and digital victimization are also covered. This study finds areas that need more reform and best practices by examining case studies from various legal systems. The results add to a more comprehensive understanding of the development of victimology and provide guidance to victim advocates, legal experts, and legislators globally.
Despite victimology's widespread popularity, it is surprising that no thorough history of the field has ever been produced, nor are there any systematic evaluations of its current status or anticipated future advances. This study is an attempt to address this issue. Victimology is an exciting field that is still in its infancy. Furthermore, even though victimization is as old as humanity, the scientific study of crime victims did not become a necessary addition to criminology's established research on offenders until after World War II. Victimology quickly became an essential component of criminology since it was developed to address a significant theoretical need. Even though victimology has established itself as a significant field of study within criminology, there is still a lot of debate and discussion about its nature, significance, and status.
