From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Do any other countries operate a scheme like this? Are convicted criminals made to contribute to the cost? Drutt (talk) 22:12, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Some do, in fact all EU member states are supposed to have some kind of scheme, but GB's is generally reckoned to be the most generous. The funding for CICA comes out of general taxation rather than confiscation of offenders' assets - however, there is separate court-ordered compensation available to victims which is paid by offenders.
