Opfer von Straftaten in Europa benötigen mehr Schutz und Unterstützung

Laut einem neuen Bericht der Agentur der Europäischen Union für Grundrechte (FRA) erhalten Opfer von Straftaten in der EU immer noch nicht die Unterstützung bzw. den Schutz, den sie benötigen. Maßnahmen, die zur Durchsetzung der Rechte der Opfer beitragen könnten, sind entweder nicht vorhanden oder werden nicht richtig eingesetzt. Am Europäischen Tag der Opfer von Straftaten fordert die FRA alle EU-Länder auf, Opfer besser zu schützen, zu unterstützen und das Anzeigen von Straftaten zu erleichtern.
