Answer
The Government is committed to providing more support than ever to victims of crime, and giving them a louder voice in the criminal justice system. We have implemented a new Victims' Code that tells people what to expect at every stage of the process. We're aiming to spend up to £100 million – more than ever before – to support victims to cope and, where possible, recover from the effects of crime.
