LEGAL REGULATION AND MECHANISMS FOR COMPENSATION FOR DAMAGE CAUSED BY A CRIME UNDER LEGISLATION OF THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA

Abstract

The article deals with modern features of legal regulation and mechanisms of compensation for damage caused by crime under Moldovan law. Restoring the rights and legitimate interests violated by the crime, in particular by compensating the damage caused by the crime, is one of the most important tasks of the criminal justice system. However, the essence of the problem lies not so much in the fact that the rights of this category are not provided for in the current legislation, but in the fact that the realization of these rights is often associated with many difficulties. Despite the fact that some measures are being taken in the Republic of Moldova to create a legislative framework to ensure conditions for rehabilitation and mechanisms to compensate victims of crimes, the authors believe that these measures are not very effective against the background of the increase in crime. In their opinion, Moldovan legislation should be developed by improving the measures and ways of protecting the rights of victims by creating state compensation funds for payments to victims, including the subsequent recovery of the sums paid from convicted debtors.
