The Island’s Victim Support Scheme is becoming the focus of attention for other jurisdictions considering setting up similar organisations.
Based in Albert Street, across the road from Douglas Courthouse, the programme helps people who have been the victims of crime, as well as those appearing as witnesses in court cases.
