Description
Summary:The issue of secondary victimisation of children victims of criminal offences because of their participation in the (pre)criminal procedure has long been the subject of discus-sions within the victimological community.

This discus-sion deals with the development, good practices, and shortcomings of Slovenian legisla-tive solutions in the field of protection of children victims of criminal offences in (pre)criminal procedures.
