Annotation

A FUND RUN BY A PRIVATE INSTITUTION, ORIGINALLY GOTTEN UNDERWAY BY CONTRIBUTIONS FROM INDIVIDUALS, AND THEN SUSTAINED WITH PUBLIC FUNDS OR THE MONEY FROM FINES, COULD BE USED FOR VICTIM INDEMNIFICATION.

Abstract

CONSIDERATIONS TO BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT IN DETERMINING WHEN AND HOW MUCH MONEY SHOULD BE PAID TO A VICTIM ARE DISCUSSED. SUCH CONSIDERATIONS INCLUDE THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE INJURY DONE TO THE VICTIM AND THE ABILITY, OR INABILITY, OF THE OFFENDER TO MAKE RESTITUTION HIMSELF. --IN DUTCH
