Response to the Victims’ Commissioner Annual Victims’ Survey report 2023
The Victims’ Commissioner Annual Victims’ Survey report 2023 was published on 6 January 2023. The survey is the largest of its kind in England and Wales, and provides a unique insight into the experiences of victims of crime.
The report found that:
- Overall, victims of crime are more satisfied with the service they received from the police and other agencies than they were in previous years.
- However, there are still some areas where improvements can be made. For example, victims of sexual violence are still less likely to report their crime to the police than victims of other types of crime.
- The report also found that victims of crime from minority groups are less likely to be satisfied with the service they receive from the police and other agencies.
The Victims’ Commissioner, Dame Vera Baird QC, said:
“It is encouraging to see that overall, victims of crime are more satisfied with the service they received from the police and other agencies than they were in previous years. However, there are still some areas where improvements can be made. I am particularly concerned about the low levels of reporting of sexual violence and the experiences of victims from minority groups.”
The government has welcomed the report and said that it will work with police and other agencies to address the issues raised.
The following are some of the key findings of the report:
- 80% of victims of crime were satisfied with the service they received from the police.
- 72% of victims of crime were satisfied with the service they received from other agencies, such as victim support services.
- Victims of sexual violence were less likely to report their crime to the police than victims of other types of crime.
- Victims from minority groups were less likely to be satisfied with the service they received from the police and other agencies.
The government has said that it will work with police and other agencies to address the issues raised in the report.
The following are some of the measures that the government is taking to improve the support available to victims of crime:
- Increasing funding for victim support services.
- Training police officers and other staff on how to deal with victims of crime sensitively and effectively.
- Introducing new laws to protect victims of crime and give them more rights.
