This year, the Ministry of Justice is allocating c.£97m (including all revenue from the Victim Surcharge) to fund support services for victims of crime. The majority of the Department’s Victims’ Services budget goes to Police and Crime Commissioners (c.£68m) to deliver support services for victims of crime in their local areas. Victims of road crime are entitled to support from these services based on need in the same way as victims of other crime, and the Ministry of Justice does not ringfence its funding to PCCs for support in this area. PCCs can fund specific support services for road crime victims, and the Ministry of Justice funds BRAKE nationally for support to families bereaved by road crime (c.£110k in 2017/18).</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 06/11/2017 17:41:05 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie
