单词 Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme
释义

Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme
A state scheme for awarding payments from public funds to victims who have sustained criminal injury, on the same basis as civil damages would be awarded (see also compensation). Damage to property is not included in the scheme. The scheme is administered by a board that may refuse or reduce an award (1) if the claimant fails to cooperate in providing details of the circumstances of the injury or in assisting the police to bring the wrongdoer to justice, or (2) because of the claimant’s activities, unlawful conduct, or conduct in connection with the injury. Dependants of persons dying after sustaining criminal injury may also claim awards. The board may apply for a county court order directing a convicted offender wholly or partly to reimburse the board for an award made. The Criminal Injuries Compensation Act 1995 (in force from 1 April 1996) set out new rules for payment. A review of the scheme is currently (2021) in progress. See also riot.
