The Democratic Alliance is delighted that the National Treasury has called for more research to be done on the proposed compensation fund for victims of violent crimes.
“In the way that the criminal justice system is currently structured, we see that the allocation and expenditure of vast resources for the criminal instead of spending something on the victims of these crimes,” says spokesperson for the DA Marike Groenewald.
They are calling on people to support the proposed idea of a compensation fund for victims of crime and hope that the proposal will be thoroughly and objectively explored.
“By calling for a compensation fund the DA is not asking that less money be spent on the criminal justice system bur in fact that system also focuses on the needs of the victims,” adds Groenewald.
