Criminal injuries bill above £175k

Report on crime victims' compensation

More than £175,000 was spent compensating people who were injured by criminals last year.

The annual report from the criminal injuries compensation scheme is due to be discussed in Tynwald when the court sits later this month.

The report says £175,177 was spent compensating 20 victims of violent crime – there were 38 applications including two from police officers and 15 from child sex attack victims.

It also reveals two-thirds of those who received money were injured in Douglas.
