สิทธิของเหยื่ออาชญากรรมกับการนำเสนอข่าวของสื่อมวลชนไทย

Abstract

This study attempts to explore laws or regulations in regard to the protection of crime victims’ rights focusing on Thai newspaper coverage. The data of this qualitative research was collected from existing documents. The study found that crime victims’ rights have been promoted at national and international levels. In Thailand, crime victims' rights are applied mostly in the criminal justice procedure where punishments and indemnities are clearly imposed. Although the Press Council of Thailand has issued the Code of Ethics for journalists (1998 C.E.), little enforcement has been conducted.
