The University of New South Wales (UNSW), Victim Services, Justice NSW and AG department are conducting an online survey on victims of crime in NSW. You are invited to participate in a study of victim participation in NSW court processes. We hope to learn about victim experiences’ with the NSW criminal justice system and to identify how service delivery can be improved in NSW to better assist victims of crime. Participation in this study is voluntary. If you decide to participate, we invite you to complete a questionnaire. This questionnaire will take about 30 minutes to complete. The questionnaire will ask about your experiences with government departments/agencies and other people working within the NSW criminal justice system. You will not be asked about the particular crime your have suffered. You will be asked about your interaction with police, prosecutors, lawyers and judicial officers, and how you engaged in court processes. Any information that is obtained in connection with this study will remain confidential and anonymous, except as required by law. If you give us your permission by completing this questionnaire, we plan to present the results to the academic community and the legal community. In any publication, information will be provided in such a way that you cannot be identified. If you would like to discuss any of the matters raised in this survey or would like further information regarding this research please contact the Chief Investigator of this research Dr Tyrone Kirchengast on 02 9325 2249 or at [email protected] . If you would like to receive a summary of the findings at the completion of the project, please send an email to [email protected]. We understand that sometimes people feel upset when discussing personal experiences. If you feel distressed whilst completing this questionnaire you can stop at any time.
