Victims of Crime
Information
If you are a victim of crime, you may come into contact with the Gardai, the courts, the Prison Service, the Probation Service, the coroner and the State Prosecution Service.
Each of those government agencies must provide a service to support and protect you as a victim of crime.
There is also a support service for victims of crime and a number of laws that protect the interests of victims.
