What is a crime?

The definition of a crime is an act that is punishable by law. This means that a crime is only a crime if criminal proceedings can be issued against the criminal. This is an important statement as taking action and not taking an action can both be a crime.

There are two types of crime – violent crime and property crime. Our speciality is to help victims of violent crime claim compensation and as such we will only focus on the violent crime aspect.

What is a violent crime?

By definition, violent crime is when an offender threatens or uses force upon a victim or victims. In the United Kingdom, any violence towards another person is a criminal offence – violence is a serious crime and is taken very seriously, more so than property crime.

What is a violent injury?

Criminal Injuries CompensationA violent injury is an injury sustained as a direct or indirect result of a violent crime. The injury can be mental or physical. An injury sustained as a result of an act of violence is referred to in the legal sense as a criminal injury. Often, a violent injury can leave the victim much more damaged than a non-violent injury as it can carry a large amount of psychological trauma with it even if the injury was purely physical.

The UK has one of the finest legal institutions and available services when it comes to victims of criminal injury – the criminal injuries compensation authority being a prime example.
