Victim compensation refers to payment or reparations made to a crime victim. Victims of violent crime may suffer financial stress that is as devastating as their physical injuries and emotional trauma.
Working as a monetary restitution by governmental entities to people injured by violent personal crimes, the compensation amount comes from the collection of fines and fees assessed in court cases.
