However I think it deserves its own dimension because it is important that the victims voice is heard and even if this cannot directly influence the outcome it should inform the process and over time would lead to a body of evidence that actually reflects what victims & witnesses want & not what people think they want.<br /><br />I offer the following as possible starting points for the ratings:<br /><br />Fail victim/witness not made aware of outcome<br />1 star victim informed of outcome<br />2 stars victim consulted on outcome but not satisfied<br />3 stars victim consulted on outcome and satisfied that outcome is fair and meets their needs.Steve Batchelderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15130458156574815777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1666579996787484678.post-2029856882133374702013-01-04T09:14:12.211+00:002013-01-04T09:14:12.211+00:00Hi Steve - sounds like a good idea - as a new dime...Hi Steve - sounds like a good idea - as a new dimension or as embedded in one of the existing ones?Jon Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12792245973965010468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1666579996787484678.post-43649501441448169802013-01-04T09:02:45.317+00:002013-01-04T09:02:45.317+00:00Jon,

As to who would score, I would be keen for this not to become a wield ~over~ the CJS agencies but instead something they can use to self assess albeit critically informed by the views of victims, witnesses and their representatives.

I think the trickiest challenge is who would "score" performance. It is quite hard to evaluate these sort of criteria although an annual survey of victims would be a great place to start...Russell Websterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09820699557943530038noreply@blogger.com
