Supporting victims of crime is a priority for the Government and we have made a commitment to publish a victims strategy in 2018. We are looking at legislative and non-legislative options to give effect to the strategy.
We are engaging widely with victims, victims’ groups and other stakeholders, including but not limited to the Victims’ Commissioner, Criminal Justice Agencies, and the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners.
