VULNERABLE VICTIMS OF CRIME
New Act N.45 / 2013 Coll., on victims of criminal offences introduces protective measures for particularly vulnerable victims of criminal offences, whom it defines as follows:
Vulnerable victim if fulfilling the conditions of Section 2 Article 2 or 3 Act N. 45/2013 Coll. is understood to be:
- a) a child,
- b) a person of high age or a person with a physical, mental or psychic handicap or sensory impairment, if these facts can given the circumstances of the case and the circumstances of that person obstruct their full and meaningful function within society compared to its other members,
- c) a victim of a human trafficking crime (Section 168 of the Criminal Code) or a victim of a terorist attack crime (Section 311 of the Criminal Code),
- d)a victim of a crime against human dignity in sexual field or of a criminal offence that included pressure, violence or threat of violence, a victim of a crime commited because of a nationality, race, ethnicity, religion, class, or against another group of people, or a victim of a crime commited in behalf of an organised terorist group, if there is an increased danger of secondary victimisation in such specific case, particularly with regard to their age, sex, race, nationality, sexual orientation, religious faith, medical condition, mental maturity, their ability to express themselves, situation in life which they find themselves in; or with regard to a relationship toward a person suspected to have committed a criminal act or their dependence on such person.
If there is any doubt as to whether the victim is a vulnerable victim, the victim has to be considered as a vulnerable victim.
