Fundamentally, Victim Support Malta has a social objective. Its mission is to offer a serious solution to a real problem.

The elaborated criminal justice system lacks an overall clear and basic strategy. It is not enough to simply fight criminality. This has to be done with much thought and proficiency. In the first place, limited resources have to be used economically; then, strategically. In this process the appropriate management of information is fundamental. Confusion in the system slackens its right functioning.

Thus, the objectives of Victim Support Malta are the following:

1. To collect and manage procedural information relating to criminal, penal and therapeutic systems;

2. To network with related agencies and thus offer victims and witnesses at court an orientation and advisory service in their dealings with the above systems;

3. To advise and monitor the needs of victims of crime and witnesses at court;

4. To encourage and assist individuals and organizations to undertake professional studies of the criminal justice system and of crime-related issues.
