Philip Seccombe is asking them to take part in a survey for which their responses would be confidential and they would remain anonymous.

Respondents do not have to have reported a crime to take part in the survey - everyone’s views are welcome.

Mr Seccombe said: “No one asks to become a victim of crime and it is therefore vital that they receive the right level of service and support when they do.

“As Commissioner I also recognise that some people see themselves as victims, others as survivors of crime.

“I will put them at the heart of the criminal justice system and make them the central focus for Warwickshire Police and partner agencies at all stages, to assist victims and survivors of crime to cope, recover and achieve justice.”

This survey is being run for the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner by TONIC, an independent social research organisation of which more can be read about at the www.tonic.org.uk website.
