Justice 'must focus on victims'

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8343313.stm

Quote:

Child protection campaigner Sara Payne is calling on the government to "redefine" justice to give greater priority to victims of crime.
Mrs Payne, whose daughter Sarah was murdered by a convicted paedophile, was named Victims' Champion in January.
She wants victims to be given more help to deal with the impact of crime and says they need greater clarity about the jail terms offenders will serve.
The government has pledged to set up a Victims' Service in England and Wales.

I can only hope that the money provided is rather more generous than in previous schemes.:(

Central funds I think. Not to the victim.
