ABSTRACT
Crime victims and their protection are crucial subjects in the study of criminology, victimology, criminal justice and other fields. In China, increased attention has been given in recent years to these areas of study. However, in contrast to the developed countries, China is still lacking in research on crime victims and in the recognition of their role in the criminal justice process. In this chapter, I will discuss and analyse the rights of victims of crime and the difficulties faced by them in China, and I will put forward recommendations as to how their position can be improved.
