This research looked at the victim protection policy of the current criminal procedre. The new direction of the victim protection policy is a historical change and should be settled stably. The current law does have much considerations for the victims, but has some unsolved problems of victim's right to make statements in court. The underlying goal of the current criminal procedre is to find out the truth and protect the victim. It is the duty of the nation to carry out this goal, the reason it has introduced the current criminal procedure. But because this is far from perfect, the nation must strive to make it better. This paper will discuss both the passive and the active position of the victim. It will also look at the victim protection policies in each levels of the criminal action.
