Many people have experience of crime in one way or another. They may have experienced a crime directly.  It may have been a property crime like burglary or theft of a motor vehicle.  It may have been a personal crime such as assault or armed robbery.  Or they may be close to someone who has experienced something like this.  The community as a whole could be said to be victimised by crime as it impacts on our environment, our quality of life, and involves both direct and indirect cost.

This website aims to give you simple but comprehensive information about crime, its impact and sources of support and advice.
