Victim Support Malta participates in AGIS EU project

2005-2006

Victim Support Malta is one of the partners in a European Union AGIS project on tourist victimisation in Europe.

AIM & TASKS

The main aim of the project is to look at support services for tourists and business travellers who fall victim to crime in France, Malta and England.

Project partners will lead on a collabrative report into commonalities found by the project partners themselves in looking at the practicability of setting up victim assistance services for tourist and business travellers.

The researchers in England, France and Malta will participate in regular meetings and roundtables to discuss and compare research and share best practice. They will also undertake specific research on behalf of the group as and when required.

OUTCOMES

The project is intended to have two main outcomes. First, a survey will be made in each participant country so as to gauge the exact prevalence of tourist victimisation.

Secondly, a best practice guide will be issued for reducing tourist victimisation in the the participant countries and in Europe.
