Abstract

Victims are direct stakeholders in criminal proceedings, and protecting their rights has a direct impact on judicial fairness and societal justice. However, there are still many issues with the protection of victims' rights in China's criminal justice system, such as a lack of fluid channels for realizing rights, a weak status in court procedures, and ineffective relief measures. This article summarizes the theoretical basis of victim rights protection, analyzes the current situation and problems in China's criminal justice practice, and makes recommendations for improving victim rights protection based on international experience, in order to promote judicial system optimization and development.
