<p>Funding for the commissioning of victims' services has been allocated to Police
and Crime Commissioners using a transparent formula based solely on population data.
One of the reasons we are moving to a local commissioning model is to allow Police
and Crime Commissioners to provide services tailored to meet local needs. The population
based formula ensures that funding is allocated according to where the victim lives,
and therefore where they will likely seek the support of victims' services. Additionally
the relatively low variation in distribution of population between areas year on year
means these proportions should remain relatively stable over time.</p>
