Let crime victims track cases online, says IPPR
Being able
to track the progress of your case when being a victim should be the future in
England and Wales. Victim Support found that 50 % of victims did not get
updates. The website ‘TrackMyCrime’http://www.trackmycrime.police.uk/ ,set up last year, allows people to follow
the progress of their cases. Rob Beckley, deputy chief, said they introduced
the site to keep victims informed about the status of their crime in a more streamlined
and efficient way. When police enters information on their computers, it is automatically
updated. Police hope the system would save officers time by reducing the need
to call the public back.
My Opinion
I think
that it is a very good idea for people to be able to follow their cases. I do
think that they system needs to be sure that no one else can see personal information
about cases. I think this site does reduce time that officers need to call people
back. It does get a little impersonal I think, you’re not talking to your lawyer
or whatever on the case but just looking it up on the internet. But this might
be handy for some people.
Good summary. You've included Rob Beckley's lines as well. So you incorporated an important source. It is also useful to actually see the site on which you can follow the progress of a case. Try to look after small spelling mistakes. "Said (that) they introduced etc." and "They system"->My Opinion.I really love your opinion. I would indeed rather talk to my lawyer than look up the status updates.
