Create a Victims Law to enhance rights for victims of crime

Petition Details

Victims of crime have waited years for a Victims Law to enhance their rights but are no further forward

Additional Information

We must shift the balance of power to enhance victims’ rights.

The Victims Commissioner has published proposals for a Victims Law. Please make this happen.

A victims voice needs to be heard but being heard is not enough. Victims are often bystanders through criminal justice processes when they need to be active participants.

A Victims Law should set out legal rights for:

- Support for recovery for victims of crime
- Access to free copies of court transcripts
- Speaking in court
- Paid legal advice
- And many other points to consider.
