Who as a victim of theft or burglary entitled to damages, do not stay there for years waiting for. The government advance the money and then goes stories from the offender.
This occurred at victims of violent or sexual crimes, but from January 1 also applies to other issues. That makes Minister Van der Steur (Security and Justice) are known in the AD. He wants to thereby protect victims from harm.
"Who is the victim of a crime, has enough on his mind. They should not also have to worry whether he'll get compensation," said the minister.
From January 1
The scheme will apply to new cases for damages that are declared irrevocably from 1 January. The victim of a crime can file a claim. If assigned, and the offender can not pay immediately, the government shoots for the amount.
Van der Steur thinks five million extra to have to advance each year.
