The courts may order an offender to pay compensation for personal injury, loss or damage resulting from an offence. The Government favours the courts making full use of their compensation powers. Under the Criminal Justice Act 1988 courts in England and Wales will be required to give reasons for not awarding compensation to a victim who has suffered loss, injury or damage. Experimental schemes have been started to enable offenders to make direct reparation to their victims, either by paying financial compensation or by undertaking some service for them.

Courts may order the confiscation of proceeds gained by a criminal from drug trafficking and this principle is to be extended to other very se­rious offences. In certain circumstances courts may also order forfeiture of property involved in the commission of crime.
