Victim of Crime

Young people are more likely than adults to be the victim of crime and are more likely to report this to services they trust, such as The Zone.

Each young person who is the victim of crime will be affected differently and will require support specific to their needs. These needs will vary depending on their circumstances.

Young people who have experienced crime may require one to one support to provide time and space to discuss what has happened, the impact and possible consequences of the crime.

Young people are increasingly the victims of crime such as;

• being targeted on the internet

• violence

• criminal damage

• theft or robbery

• domestic abuse

• sexual violence

• hate crime

• young people can also witness other people be victims of crime, and this can lead them to feeling unsure of what to do to support them.

You can book a time to come into The Zone Monday to Friday to talk with one of our Youth Support Volunteers to find out more about the support we can offer.

If you have used or are using the service please complete this survey to let Victim Care know about your experience of the service.
