Victims & Witnesses

Information found within this page has been designed to help with all answers and questions you may have if you have been either a Victim or a Witness to a crime. Anyone can become a victim of crime.

People react to crime in many ways. Although most victims don't suffer long term harm, both adults and children can be seriously affected. People who have suffered a crime may need practical information and advice, or simply someone to talk to.

Below are some of the quotes taken from Victims.

  • "Since the burglary, no matter how many times I've cleaned the flat, it doesn't feel the same."
  • "I keep thinking I see the person who attacked me walking down the street towards me."
  • "I am so worried about going to court and having to face him again."
  • "We didn't know whether we could claim any kind of insurance or compensation."
