Ministry of Justice - Code of Practice for Victims of Crime
This Code of Practice for Victims of Crime forms a key part of the wider Government strategy to transform the criminal justice system by putting victims first, making the system more responsive and easier to navigate.

Helping Victims of Crime
An examination of the evolution of Government policies toward victims of crime in the United Kingdom. This book follows the author's "View from the Shadows", which looked at official responses to the victims' movement in Canada and compares that system with the one in England and Wales.
Rebuilding Lives
This consultation paper seeks views on proposals to provide more effective support for victims and witnesses of crime by targeting investment in financial, emotional and practical support services and reforming the delivery of support services. Proposed measures include: new Victim Care Units to provide emotional support for victims including counselling services and practical help such as improving home security measures; a more simplified compensation scheme with increased levels of financial support for the victims of the most serious crimes; and standardised compensation payments for particular injuries to replace the current system of standard payments plus loss of earnings and care costs. Other issues discussed include the role of the private sector in helping victims of crime; and the conduct of needs assessments for adult and child victims of crimes.
