I have been affected by a violent crime
Violent crimes are very serious offences that can be extremely distressing for the victim.
Both physical attacks and threats of assaults are violent crime. If the offender clearly intended to harm you, regardless of whether or not you actually got hurt, the police will record a crime as violent.
How a violent crime can affect you
We’re all different but feeling distressed, confused, isolated or worried are all perfectly normal.
