"People's lives are being ruined by non-criminal behaviour." Katie Kempen, CEO of Victim Support, says many incidents of anti-social behaviour don't meet the criminal threshold. The Today Debate: Are we failing victims of anti-social behaviour? #R4Today

Well put by Victim Support at BBC Radio 4 Today's anti-social behaviour debate: 💬 "Bring the victim's voice to the fore and listen." Anti-social behaviour ruins lives. Victims need support but they face a post-code lottery when trying to access it. This needs to change. #R4Today

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

The government is planning a 4.2% cut to core victims’ services funding next year. This means many victims may go without vital support. We are calling for this devastating cut to be reversed and for essential support services to be fully funded. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Funding for core victim services is vital. It helps victims access support to recover but also engage in the justice system to help bring offenders to justice. Cutting this funding will have devastating consequences for both victims and public safety.

Victim support services are the backbone of our justice system. They help victims recover and stay engaged in the justice process longer, ultimately ensuring offenders are held accountable. Any cuts in funding will be felt directly by victims - when these services are needed most

Victim services are the backbone of our justice system, but the latest funding settlement risks pushing them to breaking point. Organisations warn they’ll be forced to cut staff and frontline support. This will harm victims and undermine justice—at a time we can least afford it.

Ashley Cowburn Ministry of Justice Home Office Victim Support Rape Crisis England & Wales Women's Aid Imkaan Refuge Victim services are committed to being there for victims. But to do so, they need secure and adequate funding to keep their doors open. I understand the pressures on public finances, but these cuts must be reconsidered. ✍️ My words in The Mirror 👇 mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
