The question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether any provision will be made for victims of crime that want support but who do not receive it, in line with target 5 in the justice section of Building a Better Scotland
- Spending Proposals 2003-06: What the money buys.
The answer
Providing better support to victims of crime is the first objective of the Scottish Strategy for Victims. The Executive is therefore working closely with Victim Support Scotland and the criminal justice agencies to improve referral arrangements and to raise awareness of the support available through initiatives such as the publication of the victims' leaflet and the introduction of the victims' website. This is intended to ensure that victims who want to, know where to turn for support.
