This collection looks at the protection of victims' rights in EU law.

Taking a four-part approach, it firstly focuses on the Victims' Right Directive and the proposal for a Directive on combating violence against women. It then explores victims' rights in the national laws of the Member States, including France, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, Romania, Lithuania and Ireland.

Finally it analyses the main challenges in the field and the need for coherence between the different competing interests.

Foreword, Didier Reynders
