Samenvatting

In April 2024, The Hague hosted the 6th World Congress on Probation and Parole. More than 500 participants from over 60 countries exchanged experiences on a multitude of themes related to probation and parole. Representing the Flemish Probation Service, we had the opportunity to highlight the victim’s position in the criminal justice chain and the judicial victim support provided by the Flemish Probation Service during a well-attended workshop. In this article, we will take a more detailed look at this form of judicial victim support and what steps are still needed to further strengthen victims’ rights.
