Victims


Victims Code

All victims of crime have a right to some type of information and support from organisations like the police and courts. The Victims’ Code, which is available in the downloads section below, says what should happen from when you tell the police about a crime until after the trial. For more information about the Victims’ Code and the support mechanisms available locally visit the Humberside Police website.

Victims’ Information Service

The Government’s Victims’ Information Service offers valuable information about reporting a crime, police investigations, going to court, and after an offender is sentenced. It also explains the help you should receive and gives information on how to find specialist support after different types of crime.

Victim Support Humber

If you’ve been a victim of any crime or have been affected by a crime committed against someone you know, Victim Support is an independent charity that helps you find the strength to deal with what you’ve been through, whether or not the crime has been reported and regardless of when it happened. Visit the Victims Support website for more information.
