Under the Code, criminal justice agencies must provide enhanced services to vulnerable victims, including victims under the age of 18. The Code contains a section dedicated to the needs of children and young people.</p><p> </p><p>The Code also entitles victims to make a Victim Personal Statement (VPS) which provides them with a stronger voice in the criminal justice process. Therefore child victims of burglary, or other crimes, are able to explain in their own words how the crime has affected them.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Ashford answering member printed Damian Green question first answered 13/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 76 label Biography information for Damian Green previous answer version 7839 answering member constituency Ashford answering member printed Damian Green answering member 76 label Biography information for Damian Green
