This article explores the creation and development of Victim Contact work by the Probation Service. The practice of the Victim Contact Team in Leicestershire (England) is explored in greater detail. Focus groups were held with victims to find out more about the experiences of service users. The results are presented in this article, alongside recommendations of good practice that can be drawn from them, including the development of a local leaflet about the work of the Victim Contact Team, and the passing on of information about what sentences mean and availability of support services to victims
