We offer 24/7 attendance at police stations and courts.
Crimes can be deliberate or occur as a result of negligence, for instance where the perpetrator has a duty of care towards the victim (eg a parent towards a child).
There are four broad categories of crime:
- Personal - crimes against a person/s
- Property - crimes against property
- Inchoate - crimes committed to commit another crime (eg conspiracy to murder).
- Statutory - crimes against the government
Several Acts cover Criminal Law, including the Serious Crime Act 2007, the Criminal Law Act 1977 and the Criminal Justice Act 1977.
