Victim support Malta is intended to provide a reference point within a complex and obscure justice system from where victims of crime can be informed and guided accordingly, and where they can be offered therapeutic assistance.

Victim Support Malta functions as a safe haven for people who have suddenly found themselves in a huge muddle and in a totally disruptive situation. Apart from people directly offended, victims of crime include also the families of criminal offenders.

It so happens that when a person directly or indirectly becomes a target of crime he or she will be unable to react adequately to the new difficult situation. The accessibility of the victim to vital information of the criminal justice system is an efficacious way with which the victim may respond to the threat he or she feels to his or her personal security and protection.

An support and information centre delivers victims of crime from their forced isolation, and gives them the opportunity to fight back in a positive way. The support given to victims of crime is reliable and professional; and the information independent, confidential and impartial.

This simple strategy is the secret of Victim Support Malta's commitment, and of Malta's victim support service.
