Coping with crime

People react to crime in many ways. Although most victims don't suffer long-term harm, both children and adults can be seriously affected.

Victim Support provides information, practical help and emotional support to those who have experienced crime, their friends and families. We are independent of the police and other criminal justice agencies, and we offer a free and confidential service.

Victim Support can offer:

  • Someone to talk to in confidence
  • Information on police and court procedures
  • Help in dealing with other organisations
  • Information about compensation and insurance
  • Links to other sources of help
