What if you're an offender?

Offender outside the Old Bailey

If you commit a crime or help someone commit a crime, you're what's called an 'offender'.

Some people who've been a victim feel that taking 'revenge' is OK. It isn't. If you want to see justice done - contact the police. If you've been a victim and you want to talk about it, contact Victim Support on 0845 30 30 900 or via email at supportline@victimsupport.org.uk

Victim Support helps anyone who has been a victim of crime and because we're so involved in helping victims, we don't help offenders. People commit crimes for lots of reasons and there are organisations who can help you to deal with what you've done and why:
