Are victims of a crime kept informed of the prosecution process?
Victims of a crime have a right to be informed about the progress of a matter through the criminal justice system. If you are a victim and would like information about the prosecution of a matter, ask the investigating police officer, the solicitor/prosecutor or the Witness Assistance Officer from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP). The ODPP will endeavour to give victims the requested information.
