LOUISE CASEY - INAUGURAL SPEECH AS FIRST COMMISSIONER FOR VICTIMS AND WITNESSES

On Tuesday 20 July 2010 Louise Casey made her inaugural speech to coincide with the Commission's first report - 'the poor relation - victims in the criminal justice system'. This sets out Louise's early impressions of how victims are treated by the system and to what extent previous pledges to put victims 'at the heart of the criminal justice system' are a reality, both for those who experience crime and for the public services which dispense criminal justice today.
