Miers, David,
Criminal injuries compensation : state and offender compensation for violent crime / Dr. David Miers ; consultant-editors Ben Collins QC; Judge Nicholas Wikeley ; foreword by Sir Ernest Ryder. - xxxviii, 341 pages ; 25 cm
Includes bibliographical references (pages 323-331) and index.
Compensating victims of violent crime : context and purpose -- Criminal injuries : victimizing events -- Eligible injuries and eligible persons -- Eligibility : cooperation, conduct, convictions, and character -- Assessment of compensation -- Applications, awards, review, appeals, and judicial review -- Compensation orders : eligible injuries and persons -- Compensation orders : assessment of compensation -- Compensation orders as a sentence of the court -- Compensation and restorative justice.
The 2012 Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme (CICS) deals with some 33,000 applications for compensation each year. It has, since 1964, been one of the principal means by which the state aims to meet victims' expectations following an offence of violence, but it also displays a clear doctrinal effort to differentiate 'deserving' from 'undeserving' victims. Over much of the same period criminal courts and agencies have enjoyed powers to order offenders to pay compensation to their victims, most recently as an element of restorative justice.0Split into two parts, Criminal Injuries Compensation is an authoritative analysis of the statutory provisions governing these various remedies. Part One, State Compensation, analyses the Scheme's defining provisions: what constitutes 'a criminal injury', what persons and injuries may be compensated, the rules governing the victim's own conduct and character, the assessment of the award, and the procedures governing applications, appeals and judicial review. Part Two, Offender Compensation, analyses the conditions under which a criminal court may make a compensation order as an element of its sentencing decision, concluding with the potential of restorative justice to deliver offender compensation to victims. The book also touches on the wider political and criminal justice context of compensation.0Written and edited by an expert academic and practitioner team, Criminal Injuries Compensation is an essential text for all those with an interest in understanding the statutory, judicial and administrative rules that govern state and offender payment of compensation to victims of violent crime.
