This interdisciplinary study shall explore the implications of coercive conduct in the course of criminal procedures, both in the legal theoretical and the practical sense of the term. We shall make a distinction between legal-necessary and illegal-unnecessary coercive conduct and the forms of its implementation. These issues will be analysed in the respective stages of the procedure (investigation-detention-court trial-law enforcement). The study will explore the issue both from the viewpoint of the victim and the parties concerned in the procedure, who are subjected to coercive conduct, furthermore will highlight the major features of the offences affecting them. It shall discuss victimisation catalysts and their functions and finally, assess the ways of reducing the potential of related secondary victimisation.
