It is very clear the victims of crime have a role and will at least be consulted and made aware of what is happening. Very often in the past, we have come across situations where the victim of a crime has discovered something by hearing it on the grapevine or when meeting somebody on the street. That is not appropriate and we need to ensure that will not happen in the future.
