Annotation

THIS PAPER DISCUSSES HOW THE CURRENT METHODS OF VICTIM REPARATION - CIVIL CLAIMS, CRIME INSURANCE, AND STATE COMPENSATION - ARE INADEQUATE, AND SUGGESTS THAT REPARATION BY THE OFFENDER MAY PROVIDE ADEQUATE REMEDIES.

Abstract

IT IS FURTHER PROPOSED THAT SUCH REPARATION MIGHT HAVE CONSIDERABLE BENEFICIAL EFFECTS FOR THE OFFENDER IS HIS OWN REHABILITATION PROCESS, AND THAT SUCH REPARATION COULD BE CONSIDERED AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO PRISON SENTENCES OR AN ACCOMPANIMENT TO PAROLE RATHER THAN AS AN ADDITION TO A TERM OF IMPRISONMENT TO BE SERVED SIMULTANEOUSLY TO THE PAYMENT OF REPARATION.
