I've heard a lot of people say that victims should be better informed. Obviously, I think victims need to be better supported when it comes to information sharing and the impact. Information is shared with victims throughout the process, and prosecutors have a hand in that, but victims should be informed even before they go to police. Getting the right information isn't always easy.
Some prosecutors are extremely supportive, but that's not their main job. It's important to look at where in the process the system can provide more support to victims.
When a victim first gives their statement, they are in a tiny room with a police officer, but they may contradict that statement when they give their testimony.
Getting a victim ready for trial is a multistep process.
