Criminal law is seen only for the state and criminals. While the primary purpose is to protect society, the individual victim in crime has always been overlooked. Victims are the 'bye products of crime'. The basic object of the Criminal Justice is to protect the society against crime and to punish the offender. However, Criminal Justice System does not show equal concern to the victims of crime, who have suffered loss or injury. The satisfaction the victims get from justice is the punishment inflicted upon the criminal. The tendency of modern criminologists is to stress on the reform, rehabilitation and legal aid of the accused. The object of the punishment is not merely to shelter and reform the criminals but there is need for safeguarding the interests of the victims also. To maintain the law and order in the society, the civilized state does not allow a victim to take the law in his hands either to punish the wrongdoer or re-compensate the loss suffered or injury sustained. The objective of this research paper is to understand the jurisprudential approach to compensation for victims of sexual crimes in India.
