Supporting victims and protecting the vulnerable

Under the Code of Practice for Victims of Crime, your Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) is a ‘service provider’, responsible for commissioning practical and emotional support services for victims of crime in Norfolk. The PCC receives dedicated funding from the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) for that purpose.

The Code of Practice for Victims of Crime is a key part of the Government’s strategy to ensure the criminal justice system puts victims first. It outlines what kind of support victims of crime can expect to receive from service providers which, as well as PCCs, include the police, prison service and court service.

Scams safety advice

Fraud affects thousands of people across Norfolk every year. Most often it is the vulnerable in our society who are targeted and exploited by scammers, but anyone can be a victim.

Restorative justice

Restorative justice offers victims the chance to explain the impact of crime on them and have the offender consider and accept responsibility for the harm caused – something which can be helpful to some victims in coping with and recovering from the crime.
