Less than half of victims in England and Wales feel confident they’d get justice by reporting a crime.

The Victim’s Commissioner’s survey suggests just 46% think the current system is effective.

Many who did report a crime felt like they weren’t believed or taken seriously.

Surrey saw 9,187 Violence Against Women and Girls crimes in the year 2023–24, up 3.2% from last year.

Victims minister Alex Davies-Jones says too many people feel unheard and the government ‘is determined to put things right’.
