To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many and what percentage of victims of crime were (a) eligible for and (b) provided with the enhanced service as set out in the Code of Practice for Victims of Crime in the last year for which figures are available.
Section 4 of the Code of Practice for Victims of Crime specifies that eligibility for enhanced services is based on whether the victim is vulnerable or intimidated (as defined by sections 16 and 17 of the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999). The Home Office does not collect information centrally about how many or what percentage of all victims of crime are vulnerable or intimidated, or on how many or what percentage were provided with enhanced services under the code.
