REPARATION LAWS AND COMPENSATION TO THE CHILD VICTIM ANALYSIS OF THE SCHEMES IMPLEMENTED IN TAMILNAD

Abstract: Reparation is considered as the most comprehensive means of compensating individuals whose rights have been violated or abused. Reparation is commonly associated with paying monetary compensation in most cases as means to offset damages suffered. The reparation laws and compensatory legislations of various countries are discussed with emphasis on Indian status. The compensation should not be aimed at monetary benefits alone, but extended to a life assistance plan which is absolutely necessary for each and every child victim. This will help the state to plan the effective and justified reparation as required for the victim child affected by sexual abuse. Author: R.
