Ten years of the Victims of Crime Statute: the University of Valencia organises a conference to analyse its impact
Published
The University of Valencia is organising a conference to analyse the Victims of Crime Statute, ten years after it came into force. The event will be held on 12 November 2026 and aims to review this law, which recognises the rights of people who have suffered a crime.
The Victims of Crime Statute is Law 4/2015, of 27 April, and came into force on 28 October 2015. This law brings together in a single text the basic rights of victims in Spain, such as the right to receive information, to receive support and to participate in judicial proceedings in an appropriate manner. It also establishes that victims must be treated with respect and that they have the right to adequate protection throughout the entire process.
The conference will bring together experts and professionals from the legal and social fields to discuss the application of this law in recent years. During the event, the role of institutions and of the professionals who assist victims will be addressed, as well as the challenges that still exist in guaranteeing their rights in practice.
The University of Valencia's initiative makes it possible to reflect on the development of this law from both an academic and a practical perspective. Ten years after its approval, the event serves as an occasion to assess the progress achieved and to identify the areas that need improvement.
