About Us
The Policy Centre for Victim Issues at the Department of Justice Canada works toward giving victims an effective voice in the criminal justice system by:
- helping victims and their families understand their role in the criminal justice system and the laws, services and assistance available to support them;
- ensuring that the perspectives of victims will be fully considered when relevant federal laws and policies are developed.
- increasing awareness both within Canada and internationally about the needs of victims of crime and effective approaches to respond to those needs.
Our Partners
The Policy Centre for Victim Issues works with other federal government agencies and with provincial and territorial governments to improve the experience of victims of crime in the criminal justice system.
