This work is inspired from the "Theory of Broken Windows" which was introduced by James Q Wilson and George L. Kelling in March 1982 in an article named "Broken Windows: The Police & neighborhood safety" in The Atlantic, retrieved 2007-09-03. This article first starts explaining the definition and origin of theory in general then how it reached its targeted audience and got popularized. The influencing power of the theory has been elaborately discussed, its theoretical tendency to revamp the policing methods have been stated and then the practical adoption of the theory by the New York police department and the consequences of the same have been enunciated. Finally the observation after through research works whether the theory is practically persistent or not has been deduced along with the concluding remarks.

Instead of being the support system the law enforcement system also resorts to shaming the victim, thereby, adding to her trauma and preventing her from regaining normalcy. In India, law recognises only rape committed on women by men, thus, seeking to protect the values held sacred to women that is her dignity, sexual autonomy, and physical integrity. Shaming responses emerge from various rape myths and percolates notjust to, the family but also to the diferent stake holders of the Criminal Justice System. In this paper, the authors have analysed the dilemmas in the responses towards the victim that occurs at diferent levels, that is by the family, by the community and the criminal justice process, including the law enforcement agencies and the courts, while also discussing the extent to which they are supported or dejected by these units. This paper also aims to unveil the impact on survivor throughout her journeyafter the rape,. in light of the Criminal Law Amendment Act of 2013 that aim at responding more effectively to the survivor, and finally analyses if those changes are, at al, serving their purpose I.

Restoration includes physical, emotional, and economical restoration, where compensation plays a predominant role. In India, distinct statutory provisions relating to compensation are provided under the Code of Criminal Procedure and the various victim compensation schemes of the different states. However, the implementation of these laws is bridled with inconsistencies due to disparity in the schemes of different states. The grant of compensation depends on three factors 1) the type of victims of crime 2) the granting authority and 3) criteria and the mode of assessment of compensation. In this regard, NZ despite being a common law country prioritizes victims of crime for compensation. Amongst the civil law countries, Germany has made concrete efforts in victim compensation through specific statutes. The present paper examines the prevailing legal framework and compensation schemes in India concerning victim compensation and analyses how far the existing laws and policies compares to the international standards of victim compensation in the already established jurisdictions of NZ and Germany, to assess where India stands in terms of the victim restoration through compensation.
