contents <p>This scholarly article by <strong>Mr. Ganesh Shrirang Nale (Satarkar)</strong> examines the evolution and contemporary scope of <strong>victimology</strong> by integrating global frameworks and Indian legal perspectives. The study traces the historical emergence of victimology from early restitution-based justice systems to its recognition as a scientific field influenced by pioneers such as Mendelsohn and von Hentig. It highlights major developments including the <strong>1985 United Nations Declaration of Basic Principles of Justice for Victims of Crime and Abuse of Power</strong>, criminological theories (routine activity, lifestyle exposure, repeat victimization), and the psychological, financial, and social impacts of victimization. The article further evaluates India’s legal mechanisms such as <strong>CrPC Sections 357, 357A, and 372</strong>, Supreme Court judgments, state victim compensation schemes, and the evolving role of NGOs.<br>Through a comprehensive sociological and legal lens, the work emphasizes contemporary themes like <strong>cyber victimology</strong>, <strong>clinical victimology</strong>, <strong>mass victimization</strong>, <strong>therapeutic jurisprudence</strong>, and <strong>positive victimology</strong>, advocating for a holistic, victim-centric justice model that strengthens rights, rehabilitation, and equitable access to justice.</p>

The article covers interdisciplinary themes within victimology, including victim–offender relationships, victim precipitation, facilitation, restorative justice, PTSD, acute stress responses, primary/secondary/tertiary victimization, NGOs in victim support, criminological theories (routine activity theory, lifestyle exposure theory, repeat victimization), cyber victimology, clinical victimology, therapeutic jurisprudence, and positive victimology. It also engages with UN Declaration 1985, victim compensation mechanisms in India, CrPC Sections 357, 357A, 372, Supreme Court judgments (Ankush Shivaji Gaikwad, Laxmi v. Union of India), mass victimization, and trauma-informed justice. These subjects situate the paper within criminology, sociology, legal studies, human rights, and public policy, making it relevant for researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and justice administrators.
