A series of questions provided the framework for an exploration of the Victims Code to find out whether the Victims Code has achieved its aims, what other similar models are available in Aotearoa New Zealand, how we compare in the global setting, where gaps are in supporting victims within our justice system and how we can address those gaps. In addition to the above, 282 government and non-government agency workers volunteered to be interviewed about their use of, and views on, the Victims Code, following a call-out to those agencies providing support services to victims. Their responses helped to inform the findings and recommendations for this report. (From the Executive summary).
