Guide for Victims of Crime

Have you been a Victim of Crime?

If you have been affected by a crime, it is important to get help and talk to the right people. This Age Scotland guide provides information on what to do right after a crime, how to report a crime, and where to turn for emotional support. 

Who can help? 

A crime should always be reported, and there are a number of ways to contact Police Scotland to do this. There are other organisations you may also want to contact. These deal with specific types of crime and can offer specialist support. It is also important to take steps to process your feelings. 

If you have been affected by crime, Victim Support Scotland can help you get the support you need. Call their free Support Helpline on 0800 160 1985.
