Sara Payne - Guest of honour at the Safe in Tees Valley Community safety Lecture

Posted : 10/12/2009

Over 100 representatives of community safety, criminal justice and voluntary sector organisations gathered on Teesside to hear Sara Payne explain her ambitions to improve care for victims and witnesses.

'I'm calling for justice to be redefined' she said ' traditionally the justice system has been focused on offenders - in catching them and protecting the public from them. However, we can't forget about the victims of the crimesthey have committed'

A copy of her recently published report, Redefining Justice can be found on the link below:
