FOI 30102024-1 – Support services for victims of non-criminal anti-social behaviour
Request
“Does the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner current fund any support services for victims of non-criminal anti-social behaviour in the police force area? If yes, please can you provide details of the service commissioned, including the funding provided and how many victims were supported last year.”
Answer
Our victims service, Voice has been commissioned to support all persistently targeted victims (repeat victims) of anti-social behaviour or hate incidents who reside in Northamptonshire. Details of the number of people are set out below. Given the small number of people supported, the cost is minimal, however it would be very difficult to establish without an extensive analysis of Voice’s budget.
