Abstract

This is Part I of the reporting of FAIRCOM, a collaboration of partners, both academics and NGO's, in several member states of the European Union.

This Report part I presents the first results of an investigative study on State Compensation and Offender Compensation in the current five partner countries: Greece, Italy, Latvia, the Netherlands and Spain. In the follow-up to this first Report there will also be a Report part II, as well as a Final Report. FAIRCOM is financed by The EU Justice Program (2014-2020).
