Une réponse pénale pour la victime L`equité et la justice restaurative en France

Abstract

The initiative to set up guarantees for victims of crime to avoid secondary victimization has developed in France through the various manifestations of restorative justice that have put the victim in a central plan. These measures have been implemented through legislative reforms. The French criminal justice system offers a real response to the victims and effective possibilities of asserting their rights. The hereby article aims at the identification of these elements and shows an analysis of these legislative aspects. The author appreciates them as an element of fairness in the French criminal justice with regard to the victims and the penal laws.
