Victims' Code

The Victims' Code is a set of official guidelines that ensure victims of crime are treated with respect, fairness, and sensitivity throughout the legal process. It guarantees victims are informed of case progress, have their views considered when decisions are made, and receive support services. The code also ensures victims understand their rights, such as participating in hearings, and provides mechanisms for feedback or complaints if those rights are not upheld. Its purpose is to acknowledge victims' needs and promote transparency, dignity, and fairness in the criminal justice system.
