Debate
Victims and Courts BillContribution
The system asks a great deal of victims, and the VRR is one of the relatively few opportunities they have to challenge decisions that affect them, so it is imperative that it offers remedies that mean something. As well as the individual implications for victims, the fact that prosecutable offences are sometimes ended has wider implications for society, because it means perpetrators do not have to face justice.
