The Action Plan was developed in connection with the “Towards a more responsive victim-centred approach of the criminal justice system” RE-JUST-project funded by the Justice Programme of the European Commission. The Action Plan was written by experts from the Association Pro Refugiu (Romania), the Center for the Study of Democracy (Bulgaria), SOLWODI Deutschland e.V. (Germany), the European Institute for Crime Prevention and Control, affiliated with the United Nations (HEUNI, Finland) and Dinamia S. Coop. (Spain). The Action Plan aims to give ideas and examples for developing victim-centred and trauma-informed criminal justice systems. The Action Plan compiles concepts from research, reports, and past projects as well as examples of models and ways of working that have been developed and used by the partner organisations and the respective authors of each chapter. The Action Plan combines knowledge and ideas from different disciplines, most notably law, criminology, and psychology. Each chapter is written by a particular expert and each chapter represent the author’s expertise and opinions.
