The study comprises of an overview of the law on compensation of victims of rape in Tanzania. The study provides some details on how compensation is awarded by the courts in Tanzania when the perpetrator is found guilty. The law on compensation of rape victims is very clear and it has provided for effective compensation. However, the problem is gauged on the practice by the courts in implementing what has been provided by the law to ensure effective compensation.
This study based on exploring how the courts exercise their power in granting compensation awards to the victims of rape. Thus, the researcher employed a descriptive design in which it was fruitful in gathering enough data. The data was collected through both primary and secondary methods of data collection.
The study shows that, in Tanzania there are cases of rape having similar circumstances and facts and yet the court has been reluctant in awarding effective and consistent amounts of compensation to the victims of rape. Thus, the researcher found out that there is a need of establishing a constitutional or statutory body which will be responsible for providing compensation to the victims of rape once the order of compensation has been made by the court of law.
This study comprises a total number of five chapters, whereas chapter one provides for the general introduction to the problem and the objective of the study, but in chapter two a brief conceptualization of the key terms of the research title has been explained that is the concept of rape and compensation scheme. Then chapter three of the study provides for the legal and institutional framework of compensation for rape victims. Thereafter chapter four of the study provides for the research findings and collected data and lastly chapter five of the study provides for the general conclusions and recommendations. |
