Victim & Witness Portal
Victims and witnesses are fundamental to criminal justice. Without them, offenders will not be brought to justice and neither victims nor society will receive justice. The MCJB is committed to supporting victims and witnesses through the entire process. In order to do this, we have links with an extensive network of support agencies and organisations. You will find information about these through the links below.
