For A Criminal Justice System Friendlier Towards Mentally Ill
She explained that the work of Victim Support suggests although the courts and police are required to identify witnesses or victims with mental health problems so they can be offered extra help, many vulnerable people were still not getting the support they needed. "Mind has suggested that many people with mental health problems do not come forward to report crimes because they find the criminal justice system daunting and are fearful that the process may be detrimental to their mental health," she added.
Professor Drennan, a former community nurse, health visitor and senior NHS manager, said she was particularly interested in how health professionals could help victims to access the justice system.
Angela Antonatos of Victim Support, who is leading the research, said: "We need to make sure that victims with mental health problems have as much help and support as possible. The study will give them a voice, highlighting their experiences as victims and improving their access to justice."
