There is an organization in Victoria called the Victims of Crime Advocacy League (VOCAL). VOCAL is comprised of people who themselves have been crime victims and who believe that more needs to be done to address the rights of victims of crime.
At present VOCAL is attempting to address a range of issues, including the law relating to Double Jeopardy and Oral Impact statements.
The objective of VOCAL is to provide support and information to victims of crime and their services can be located at www.vocalvictoria.com.au. If you would like to be involved with the work of VOCAL, namely in addressing community concerns relating to victim’s rights, please also contact VOCAL as they are always looking for new members.
