I think funding the VJF from the get-go via fine surcharges was misguided insofar as it made justice for victims the responsibility of perpetrators rather than a collective responsibility. A decent society would both support victims of crime and prevent the immiseration of victims and perpetrators along with everyone else. Finding a collective way to fund the VJF currently is essential and oughtn’t to be difficult for reasonable governments to effectuate. Finding a way to to prevent immiseration is more complex no doubt, but designing and implementing an adequately funded national basic income program would be a mighty good start.
