Description
The Leicestershire & Rutland Victim Contact Team In 1990 the Victims Charter was published (Home Office 1990). In essence this was a wish list of services that victims of crime would like to be made available to both witnesses and victims in the Criminal Justice system from the various statutory and voluntary agencies involved. In 1991 a Probation Circular (Home Office 1991) was issued which required probation services to work with the families of the victims of life sentence prisoners. At this time the Probation Officer who was responsible for the management of the offender on life licence was given a responsibility to keep the relatives of victims informed about what was happening to their particular perpetrator.
