The role of Non-Governmental Organizations in protecting victims with the emphasis on victimized children

When the government, with all its forces along with civil society, is taking part in a collaborative criminal policy in support of the victim, it is portrayed as an inclusive and desirable pattern of social support. Social support works more than anything else through community-based activities. These supports from Non-Governmental Organizations can be divided into two categories: First, medical-social support that is provided to victimized children, and second, legal protection of them. From the perspective of criminology, children and adolescents must be supported and paid special attention to them, due to the special circumstances that govern them. In the meantime, there is a question that, according to Section 66 of the Criminal Procedure Act, are the NGOs only declaring a crime or can they be the paintiff? In this study, while describing social-medical and legal support, with the reasoning behind the answer to the above question, it was concluded that the vague and interpretable appearance of Section 66 as a statment was in fact that the NGOs are the plaintiff of the crimes committed in the field of regulations of this article.
