The issue of the victim of crimes and the compensation of damages caused to them by criminal acts is constantly evolving in various jurisdictions. Although in recent years in the Republic of Moldova there is a much more proactive approach in favor of victims of crimes, however, the experience of comparative law attests the persistence of conservative policies in this area, which requires further reflection on the subject. Criminal law has traditionally focused on the relationship between the offender and the state. In this scenario, the victim of the crime has a much lower relevance for criminal prosecution and trial. The legal concepts - diffuse rights, social (collective) damages represent a progress in the field of protection and reparation of victims of crime, especially in the case of their widespread or large scale commission, and which should be imported by the legislation and judicial practice of the Republic of Moldova.
