In order to make the transformation from victim to survivor, a victim of crime needs to feel empowered throughout the criminal justice process.  The feeling of empowerment can be facilitated by subscribing to four principles of empowerment.

These are:

Safety:

A victim of crime needs to feel physically and psychologically safe from further harm in order to be able to exercise their rights

Restored Control:

Restoring control allows them to begin to regain some of the choices that were taken away from them. By providing the victim with a sense of control over their situation, their body and their surroundings they can engage more fully with the justice process

Respect:

A victim is respected when we honour their choices and help them to re-establish boundaries.

Ongoing Support:

A victim of crime will recover more quickly if they have good support and feel free to ask all of the questions they need about what will happen to them and what their role is.
