This article aims to analyze the categorization of victims by several
victimological schools and to compare that to the categorization in the
Criminal Procedure Code of Macedonia (CPC). The first part of this article
analyzes different theoretical categories of victims, taking into
consideration approaches of representatives of positivist, conservative,
radical and critical victimology. A parallel is drawn between theoretical and
legislative categorization of victims. Many countries have reformed their
criminal legislation providing certain rights to the victim of crime. The
second part of the article discusses the categorization of the victims within
the CPC of Macedonia. Categorization of the victims is linked to their
separate rights guaranteed by law. The article draws certain conclusions and
recommendations regarding the categorization of victims and their specific
rights. The importance of effective implementation of the guaranteed rights
for the victim is especially emphasized. |
