If you or someone in your family is the victim of a crime or you have witnessed a crime being committed, you will become involved in the criminal justice system. This can be a very confusing and stressful experience for you. The criminal justice system can seem very complex, especially when you are also coping with the effects of the crime itself.
This section of our website is dedicated to victims and witnesses and tries to answer the questions people ask us the most often. You may also find it useful to read our two information booklets The Role of the DPP and Going to Court as a Witness. You can request printed copies of these booklets by telephone +353 (0)1 858 8500 or by e-mail at dpp@dppireland.ie
