Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to give a brief overview of the English and Welsh Criminal Justice
System and to explain the role of crime victims within it; to offer an insight into some of the
soft law provisions that have been developed in England and Wales as alternatives to more
formal provisions such as legal aid in offering protection and support to crime victims; and to
question whether a right to legal aid to provide independent legal representation (ILR) for
victims should and could be developed in this jurisdiction.
