Annotation

THE SYMPATHY FOR THE VICTIMS OF OFFENSES FOUNDATION, ESTABLISHED IN THE NETHERLANDS IN 1967, HAS GIVEN ASSISTANCE TO VICTIMS OF OFFENSES IN 200 CASES.

Abstract

THE FOUNDATION'S PURPOSE IS CHARITABLE, BUT ITS WORK MAY HELP TO BRING GOOD RESULTS IN CRIMINOLOGICAL RESEARCH. IT IS CUSTOMARY TO ADVOCATE ASSISTANCE TO THE VICTIMS OF CRIMES AGAINST PERSONS, BUT THE AUTHOR SEES NO REASON TO LIMIT ASSISTANCE IN THIS WAY. IT SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO COVER THE VICTIMS OF ALL TYPES OF CRIME. --IN DUTCH
