Victim Support Malta
Malta's support and information centre for victims of crime

Member of the
VICTIM SUPPORT EUROPE
and the
WORLD SOCIETY OF VICTIMOLOGY

 

Our mission is to thwart the exclusion of victims of crime and witnesses at court from the criminal justice system

In a strange land anyone would feel utterly perplexed; everything would seem complicated and confused. If one had not the opportunity to ask his way about one would remain in a distraught situation, unable to make heads or tails of one’s plight.

The same happens to people entering the ‘world’ of criminal justice for the first time, especially as a victim of a criminal offence. Victims need clear directions to help them orient themselves and find their way around. Otherwise, they simple fail to understand what is expected of them, and what rights they are entitled to.

Information here has a mission of justice. As in information centre, Victim Support Malta directs victims in the aftermath of their victimisation. If need be, and if a report to the police would have been lodged, Victim Support Malta directs them also within the complexities of the criminal justice system.

Our mission is to inform and support ALL victims of crime, whether they would have reported the crime or not, and whether they are Maltese or foreigners. Our service embraces a policy of equality that guarantees a professional help to all victims irrespective of their personal qualities.
