Changing Dimensions of Victims’ Rights in The Era of Technology and Innovation within the Criminal Justice System

Abstract

The current study investigates how victims' rights are changing, as the technology advances. The incorporation of innovation and technology into legal systems is critical for ensuring international peace and order in accordance with Sustainable Development Goal 16, which emphasises universal access to justice. Governments must regulate social behaviour and ensure the safety and property of their constituents. In India, incidents arise in which accused persons gain from a lack of evidence or evidence that has been tampered with, leaving victims with unfair outcomes, and potentially disrupting social order. This study seeks to investigate the underlying causes of maladministration of justice and violations of victims' rights. It will also investigate potential cures, particularly in terms of technological improvements. This study uses a doctrinal legal research technique to investigate relevant national and international laws and policies. This study contributes to the discussion on improving legal mechanisms by shining a light on existing justice delivery systems and pushing for technological integration. The study acknowledges and expands on prior scholarly work in this topic to provide comprehensive insights.
