Mrs. Curtis-Thomas: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans his Department has to introduce measures to increase levels of victim participation in restorative justice. [212321] Paul Goggins: The Government aim to promote the further use of restorative justice (RJ) in the adult criminal justice system, particularly as a service to victims. We know from research evidence that over 75 per cent. of victims who choose to participate are glad to have done so. On 16 March, we will issue RJ implementation guidance for Local Criminal Justice Boards and their constituent agencies, encouraging them to develop provision of restorative justice at local level, particularly as a service to victims. The implementation guidance will also include advice to local agencies about publicity and communications about RJ, so that more victims are aware of what it is and what is available to them locally. We believe that the best way to encourage victim participation is through high quality, victim-sensitive provision of RJ services, and appropriate locally based communication about what is available for them. In the youth justice system, RJ has been available Since l998. Youth offending teams reported that during 2003-04 over 16,000 victims were consulted or participated in restorative processes and over 90 per cent. expressed satisfaction. The Youth Justice Board has a target for youth offending teams that by 2005, 75 per cent. of victims of all youth crime will be offered the opportunity to participate in a restorative process and 75 per cent. of victims participating should be satisfied. The provisional figure for victim participation between April and December last year is 80.1 per cent.

Mr. Dodds: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many (a) male and (b) female victims of domestic violence in Northern Ireland have been recorded in each year since 1997. [220633] Mr. Pearson: The figures requested are set out in the following table. The Police Service of Northern Ireland currently record statistics in respect of the number of domestic violence incidents attended and the number of incidents where offences have been disclosed. The Police Service introduced Domestic Violence Officers in September 1997 and it is after this point that consistent and reliable data became available. The recording systems were developed between 1997 and 2000 and it is after this time that further reliable information became available in respect of victim gender. Previously the Police Service recorded all domestic violence incidents manually with only crimes being electronically recorded. This has recently changed and all incidents, crimes and non-crimes are now recorded on the Integrated Crime Information System.

Mr. Dodds: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what Government resources are available to help the victims of sexual abuse in Northern Ireland. [220628] Angela Smith: Health and Social Services Boards provide a range of medical and mental health services to victims of sexual abuse via the Health Trusts. These services include counselling, medical services provided in accident and emergency units and specialist genito- urinary unit services. Government Departments and other public sector bodies also provide funding to voluntary sector organisations, such as the Nexus Institute, the Rape Crisis and Sexual Abuse Centre (NI), and Victim Support NI, which offer counselling and support services to victims/survivors. The investigation of serious sexual offences and child abuse matters is the responsibility of the Care Units of the Police Service for Northern Ireland. The units are staffed by specially trained police officers and provide support to victims throughout investigations and subsequent court proceedings. The policy of the Director of Public Prosecutions for Northern Ireland is that the Department will consider the proper interests of victims (and witnesses) at every stage in the criminal process. The Department takes practical steps to give effect to its policy on the treatment of victims, including ensuring that staff treat victims with sensitivity and understanding, ensuring that proper use is made of appropriate legal measures to assist victims to give evidence to courts and that victims are kept informed of significant developments in the case in which they have an interest.
