    Directive 2012/29/EU represents a milestone in the development of victims’ rights. It establishes minimum standards for the rights, support and protection of victims of crime. It defines the scope of support services, guarantees the right to effective protection against secondary victimisation and comprehensively regulates the measures required for this purpose. This report covers three core components underpinning victims’ rights: support services, crime reporting, and protection from secondary and repeat victimisation. Examples highlight the relevant legal provisions in Member States and how specific rights under the Victims’ Rights Directive work in practice.

    This is the second main report from FRA’s Fundamental Rights Survey, which collected data from 35,000 people on a range of issues. This report focuses on respondents’ experiences as victims of selected types of crime, including violence, harassment, and property crime. The report also examines how often these crimes are reported to the police, and presents further details relating to harassment and violence, such as the perpetrators and where the incidents took place.

    Victims of violent crime have various rights, including to protection and to access justice. But how are these rights playing out in practice? Are victims of violent crime properly seen, informed, empowered and heard? Do they tend to feel that justice has been done? Our four-part report series takes a closer look at these questions, based on interviews with victims, people working for victim support organisations, police officers, attorneys, prosecutors and judges.

Around 2.5 million children participate in judicial proceedings across the European Union (EU) every year, affected by parental divorce or as victims of, or witnesses to, crime. Although their effective participation in such proceedings is vital for improving the operation of justice, the treatment of children in justice systems remains a concern. FRA investigated to what extent children’s rights to be heard, to be informed, to be protected, and to non-discrimination are fulfilled in practice.
The Agency’s Director, Michael O’Flaherty, took part in a meeting of the European Parliament Employment Committee on 8 November.

Hate crime is the most severe expression of discrimination, and a core fundamental rights abuse. Various initiatives target such crime, but most hate crime across the EU remains unreported and unprosecuted, leaving victims without redress. To counter this trend, it is essential for Member States to improve access to justice for victims. Drawing on interviews with representatives from criminal courts, public prosecutors’ offices, the police, and NGOs involved in supporting hate crime victims, this report sheds light on the diverse hurdles that impede victims’ access to justice and the proper recording of hate crime.
Children should always be supported by a professional support person when they are involved in judicial proceedings, such as being at court. This could be, for example, a social worker or a legal counsellor.

During judicial proceedings, such as being at court, children should always be told what is going on. The information should be presented in a child-friendly and understandable way.

Worker exploitation is not an isolated or marginal phenomenon. But despite its pervasiveness in everyday life, severe labour exploitation and its adverse effects on third-country nationals and EU citizens - as workers, but also as consumers - have to date not received much attention from researchers.

Wenn die Justizsysteme kindgerechter und kinderfreundlicher
gestaltet werden, so verbessert dies
den Schutz für Kinder, erleichtert deren sinnvolle
Beteiligung und verbessert zugleich die Arbeitsweise
der Justiz. Mit den in dieser Zusammenfassung
dargestellten Erkenntnissen erhalten die Mitgliedstaaten
ein hilfreiches Instrumentarium an die Hand,
mit dessen Unterstützung sich Hindernisse, Lücken
oder Schwachstellen bei Gerichtsverfahren – insbesondere
im Zuge der Umsetzung und Anwendung
der einschlägigen EU Richtlinien – ermitteln lassen.

Each year thousands of children take part in criminal and civil judicial proceedings, affected by parental divorce
or as victims or witnesses to crime. Such proceedings can be stressful for anyone. The European Union Agency
for Fundamental Rights (FRA) investigated whether children’s rights are respected in these proceedings.
Kinder sollen in allen Angelegenheiten, die sie betreffen, beteiligt und angehört werden. Das gilt auch für das Justizsystem.

The rights of victims of crime to access justice and to be protected against repeat victimisation may remain illusory in practice if the victim fails to receive professional advice and support. This research by the European Union Agency
for Fundamental Rights (FRA) examines support service provision for such victims across the 28 EU Member States, in line with the 2012 EU Victims’ Directive. It focuses not on abstract fundamental rights standards but on the final
practical results.

This FRA survey is the first of its kind on violence against women across the 28 Member States of the European Union (EU). It is based on interviews with 42,000 women across the EU, who were asked about their experiences of physical, sexual and psychological violence, including incidents of intimate partner violence (‘domestic violence’).
This major online survey, carried out in 2012, collected information from more than 93,000 LGBT people in the EU on their experiences of discrimination, violence, verbal abuse or hate speech on the grounds of their sexual orientation or gender identity. The data explorer also allows the filtering of responses by age, sexual orientation and country of residence.

Ungeachtet intensiver Bemühungen der Mitgliedstaaten der Europäischen Union (EU) ist es bisher nicht gelungen, Diskriminierung und Intoleranz wirksam zu bekämpfen, wie die Forschungsarbeiten der FRA belegen. Durch Vorurteile motivierte Beschimpfungen, körperliche Angriffe und Morde treffen die europäische Gesellschaft in all ihrer Vielfalt – von sichtbaren Minderheiten bis hin zu Menschen mit Behinderungen. Dieser FRA-Bericht soll die EU und ihre Mitgliedstaaten dabei unterstützen, gegen diese Grundrechtsverletzungen vorzugehen. Zu diesem Zweck müssen Hassdelikte verstärkt sichtbar gemacht und die Täterinnen und Täter zur Rechenschaft gezogen werden.

Der EU-MIDIS "Daten kurz gefasst - 6" legt Daten über die Erfahrungen der Befragten mit krimineller Viktimisierung im Zusammenhang mit fünf unterschiedlichen Arten von Straftaten vor: Diebstahl eines Fahrzeugs oder von Objekten aus einem Fahrzeug, Einbruchdiebstahl oder versuchter Einbruchdiebstahl, Diebstahl persönlichen Eigentums ohne Gewaltanwendung oder Bedrohung, Angriffe oder Bedrohungen, schwere Belästigung. Die Erhebung der Europäischen Union zu Minderheiten und Diskriminierung (European Union Minorities and Discrimination Survey, EU-MIDIS) ist die erste EU-weite Erhebung, in 23 500 ZuwanderInnen und Angehörige ethnischer Minderheiten über ihre Erfahrungen mit Diskriminierung und krimineller Viktimisierung im Alltag befragt wurden.
