刑事被害人救助制度是指在被害人或其近亲属因犯罪行为所遭受的损失通过其他法律途径不能得到赔偿或充分赔偿时,国家对其进行适当补偿的制度。在人权观念、权利话语不断深入人心的今天,这一制度所表现出的人道关怀和保护正常社会秩序的功能已得到充分肯定,不过相比于西方国家较完善的制度,我国的刑事被害人救助仍是一项需要不断探索的工作。 The system of assistance to victims of criminal activities refers to the system that the state compensates for when the victims or their close relatives can not be compensated or fully compensated through other legal means because of the losses suffered by their criminals.
