Being a victim of a crime can be a difficult and confusing experience. This interactive virtual tour has been developed to provide information about the Criminal Justice System (of England and Wales) process as it relates to a victim of a crime. There is plenty of support out there – more than you might think – and everyone involved in tackling crime is determined to do more to help victims.The tour aims to guide any victim of crime through the processes that they will encounter, from the time a crime is reported, through the police investigation, prosecution decision making, court processes, and sentencing. It also provides information on the personal support that is available at all stages, including, when relevant, after the court case. The virtual tour aims to make the process that bit more easier to understand and provides a victim with some idea of what they can realistically expect to happen.

"The Art of Crime Detection" is an interactive Web activity consisting of an introductory animation, two crime-solving scenarios, and an open-ended drawing tool. The two scenarios, the Toilet Paper Caper and Pushing Other People's Buttons, provides the student with an understanding of the differences between right brain and left brain processes, an understanding of visual images and vocabulary and their impact in providing descriptions, and understand how people look at the same situation as others but from a different perspective. The student uses the PDArtist, a PDA-type device that guides them through the process of using either side of the brain, or both sides simultaneously. Students can also use the PDArtist alone, as a creative tool for their own scenarios.
