D8 Victims in society. Culture in reactions to victimisation
(Alice Bosma, Eva Mulder, Pauline Aarten, Antony Pemberton from Intervict)
Cultural victimology also concerns the manner in which society views victimization and the manner in which victimological processes shape societal and political developments. The final workshop concerns these phenomena.
It is unfortunately hardly news that the societal reaction to victims’ ordeals often compounds rather than ameliorates their suffering . The emblematic form of this so-called secondary victimization is that suffered by victims of rape, whose ability to cope with their ordeal is greatly hampered by this phenomenon . A key victimological topic of research therefore seeks to understand the mechanisms underlying SV. Two Intervict PhD-projects aim to gain further insight in these mechanisms. The first seeks to evaluate the way that the victims emotional display shapes reactions. Do people react differently to sad or angry victims? The second considers the role of stereotypes. Do we react differently to the victimization of victims who conform more closely to stereotypical depiction of victims?
Victimological processes also play a role in societal and political developments that at first glance might not be associated with victimization. A particularly relevant one are processes of radicalization. A recent INTERVICT collaboration with the Universities of St.Andrews, Cork and Jaen sought to evaluate the role of victimization, experience of grievance on the radicalization processes and the prevention of radicalization. This RADVICT project illuminates the importance of viewing victimological processes beyond the direct subjects of our concern.
Taken together the workshop will address some of the complexities in our attempts to improve the lot of victims of crime. Participants will be asked to consider what innovate avenues we might employ to overcome or ameliorate the processes underlying secondary victimization, and means to prevent victimization experience from turning into perpetration. Can we use our firsthand knowledge of victim experience to prevent secondary victimization and perhaps even retaliation?
B6 Shelters for victims of domestic violence: just for living or for empowerm...
(Daniel Cotrim, APAV)
This workshop presents a qualitative analysis of the experiences of living in a shelter for women who have suffered domestic violence. It was analyzed their experiences from five different dimensions: (i) the shelter as an institution ; (ii) the motivations and expectations to be accepted and the first days of sheltering, (iii) feelings of change and prospects for the future; (iv) establishment and quality of interpersonal relationships amongst women and between them and the technical staff; and (v) the importance of organizational empowerment for women in the shelter.
The empowerment and participation of women in shelters, often collides with the need of the organization to maintain order and control. The decision making is only in the hands of the technical staff. It is important to analyze the current models of intervention in these areas and whether they are actually promoting the empowerment and take into account the perceptions of the women who live there.

C8 Narrative victimology. A cultural understanding of victim experience
(Irma Cleven & Pauline Aarten from Intervict)
Cultural victimology also recognizes key phenomena related to culture - for instance the understanding of history, art and mass-media - as emerging as important sites for victimological research (Pemberton, Aarten, Mulder, 2015). A particularly important site for victimological research concerns narratives. This narrative victimology draws upon the increasing understanding of the importance of narrative to psychological and sociological processes, while outlining the particular importance of story-telling to victims coping, sense- and meaning making processes.
Two large Intervict-projects have sought to understanding victims experiences, and in particular their experiences with justice through narrative. The first concentrates on the experiences of victims of relatively severe crime in the Netherlands. In Stories of justice and injustice, participants were invited to consider their victimisation experience and the ensuing justice process against the backdrop of their life stories. To what extent should we understand the criminal justice process as part of this unfolding story rather than as a relatively separate reaction to victimization? Should we understand victim participation in the process as a means to achieve a specific aim or as an attempt to connect victims experience with the justice process? How do victims come to terms with the narrative rupture in their lives? The second considers the experience of victims of large scale conflict with reparations programmes, again with the inclusion of their life story as well as the collective historical narrative. How do victims understand the comparison between their own story of victimization and the narrative that surrounds them? To what extent to stories of victimisaiton – so called chosen trauma’s from the past shape current day experience and how do they figure in individual victim’s stories? Participants in the workshop will also be asked to consider narratives of victimization that form part of their own cultural heritage, as well as the manner in which they are relevant today.
Victims of crime in the EU: the extent and nature of support for victims
Preface
Support services to victims of crime are essential to victims’ rights. Crime victims need support so they can access the justice system. This report by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) analyses victim sup‐ port services in the European Union (EU) and is an important source of information for us, policymakers, on how well victim services are implemented across EU Member States and which gaps remain.
The Victims’ Directive is a big step forward for victims of crime. All victims have the right to effective access to jus‐ tice as laid down in Article 47 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. However, this right only becomes a practical reality when victims are aware that such support exists and get help to make use of it. As the report shows, in the absence of victim support services, it is likely that victims will not report their experiences, and will nd it dif cult to navigate their way through the legal system to see their case through.
FRA’s report clearly shows the different traditions underlying victim support services in the EU Member States. We should welcome this diversity of approaches. However, there are essential characteristics that all victim support ser‐ vices must share. For example, they should be available to all victims free of charge, and must not be dependent on other criteria such as a victim’s residence status or whether they have reported a crime to the police.
This report is a useful overview of the support services available to crime victims in the EU today. Together with FRA’s other work on access to justice and its large scale surveys of groups that are disproportionally likely to become victims of crime, this report can help us to better understand and improve support for victims of crime throughout the EU.

D2 Victim support organisations working together to implement the victims dir...
(Maria McDonald BL, Victims’ Rights Alliance, Ireland)
The Victims’ Rights Alliance (VRA) comprises 16 different human rights & victims support organisations, including victims of homicide, rape, sexual assault, tourists, hate crimes, including hate crimes against the LGBT Community, road traffic collision victims among others. The VRA was formed to create one voice to go to government with to ensure that the victims directive is implemented for all victims of crime. This workshop will discuss what the VRA has achieved in working with the police, DPP, department of Justice & other stakeholders.
A8 Aspects of Cultural Victimology / Aspecten van culturele victimologie
(Antony Pemberton, Intervict) - Victimologie heeft een opmerkelijke groei doorgemaakt in de afgelopen decennia. Slachtoffers zijn niet langer de 'vergeten groep' van het strafrecht. Echter, de opkomst van de victimologie is in twee opzichten eenzijdig geweest. Slachtoffers van bepaalde vormen van crimineel gedrag (huiselijk en seksueel geweld bijvoorbeeld) hebben de meeste academische en politieke belangstelling gekregen en het onderzoek naar slachtofferschap is voornamelijk geconcentreerd in de Angelsaksische wereld en enkele landen die cultureel en politiek in veel opzichten vergelijkbaar zijn. De culturele victimologie wil over grenzen heen kijken en zich richten op wat ontbreekt in de huidige aanpak van wetenschappelijk onderzoek.
B7 Human Rights And Victims' Rights
Anne-Marie Wolf (ASP/Wolf Advocaten), Edwin Bosch (ASP/VBS Advocaten) & Alex Sas (Slachtofferhulp Nederland)
We would like to take you with us in our daily experiences and show you some of the problems we meet in giving the victim good protection during the criminal trial (safety, privacy, avoid secondary victimization).
During the workshop we hope to work with:
• A debating session (plenary debate with participant using voting cards or interactive voting methods);
• A casuistic session (discussion relevant issues using real life cases or victims’ stories);
• further on we hope to get some support of case managers working in Victim Support Holland
We (Anne-Marie Wolf & Edwin Bosch) are both members of the board of the association of ASP (Advocaten voor Slachtoffers van Personenschade / Lawyers working with victims off personal injury) and both personal injury lawyers, specialist in the support of victims of severe criminal misconduct (modern slavery, rape).
A4 Compensation for victims of human trafficking: pitfalls & possibilities
(Karin Burgerhout, FairWork)
FairWork is an NGO fighting human trafficking in the Netherlands. Part of our work is victim support in the field of severe labour exploitation. Within our work with victims of exploitation, compensation is a recurrent theme. Both experience and research show that compensation is vital for personal recovery and reintegration after trafficking. In this workshop we will look into possibilities for compensation after human trafficking by studying a recent case. We will compare the options within the scope of both criminal and civil procedures and discuss which other routes to compensation are available to victims of trafficking. Throughout this workshop, the victim’s perspective will be leading. There will be room for discussion on the meaning of compensation and on the ways of supporting victims in their efforts to obtain compensation, as well as for the exchange of (international) experiences on this topic.
D4 Challenges and solutions providing support to cross-border victims of crim...
(An Verelst, Victim Support Europe)
Considering the increased mobility of people in the EU and the increasingly globalized crime, people are more and more becoming a victim of crime in a Member State other than their own. Estimates show that 2 million people fall victim to cross-border crimes ever year in Europe.
Victim Support Europe conducted a study to identify the challenges and potential solutions in supporting victims of cross-border crimes questioning victim support organisations and consular services. The study showed factors by victim support organisations around Europe to be linked to cross-border victimization that can potentially form barriers to ensure victims of cross-border crimes can enjoy their rights. Language, timing, culture, practical difficulties, and distance are some of the main factors that can prove to be challenging when supporting these victims. This workshop will depict the potential challenges cross-border victims face in the different phases in the aftermath of crime – from the moment the crime occurred, the investigative phases, the trail and in the long-term. Additionally, it will zoom in on good practices and promising solutions that exist in Europe.
C4 Report Workshop cross border victims support 26 may 2016
Workshop Report
An automatic text message with information on local victim support when you cross a border. A ‘victim bible’ in every hotel room. A dedicated expert/coordinator who manages cross border victim cases in each victim support organisation as part of an international network within the VSE. These are but a few of the many ideas the participants came up with after being challenged to think of at least 10 simple but brilliant ideas to improve cross border support for cross border victims.
The workshop was part of the cross-border victims series but had in fact a dual objective: a practice in creative knowledge sharing (elaborating on some ideas presented during the keynote ‘A house of knowledge for a learning community) in service of the improvement of cross border victim support. Which is in fact a major challenge for Victim Support Europe and the individual EU member states and national victim support organisations.
C7 Access to Justice for Victims of Hate Crimes: the Views of Professionals
(Matylda Pogorzelska, European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA))
FRA has researched practical aspects of access to justice for victims of hate crimes. In total, 263 interviews with police officers, public prosecutors and judges and practitioners working for victim support services were carried out in all 28 EU Member States. Racism and xenophobia, sexual orientation or gender identity and islamophobia seem to be the most prevalent grounds for attacks or threats of violence. Additionally, the findings show that over half of the respondents indicate that public incitement to racist or xenophobic, islamophobic, homophobic and transphobic hostilities constitutes a problem in respective member States. State’s indifference needs to acknowledged as it was pointed out that politicians and other important persons very often are those who start openly express discriminatory attitudes and then, without a serious reaction from the State, it only develops further. Another important aspect is a phenomenon of cyber hate which seems to be totally “out of control”. Several actions could prevent hateful speech in the public sphere, such as: no tolerance of discriminatory speech in political discourses; efforts to monitor hate speech on the Internet; criminalising Holocaust denial and ensuring a common language and understanding of hate crime among all practitioners.
Congress VSE Utrecht may 2016 The look of inavem after the terrorist atta...
Last year, terrorists struck twice indiscriminately on innocent people by surprise by attacking defenceless crowds in order to sow panic, terrorists seek to undermine our way of life ...
The terrorist’s acts make many victims, deceased people, the bereaved, injured or shocked people not to mention the attention that we must bring witnesses, caregivers, who carried anonymous support and caring support ... Also it is impossible to know the exact number of people affected by terrorism but we believe they should all be able to receive support tailored to their needs.
In France, the writings on the management modalities of the victims of terrorist acts date back more than thirty years ago and have been the subject of numerous works between different actors involved with victims. Have we been able to learn from the past?
Certainly, methodological guides were developed both in support of the victims of attacks that collective events certainly interdepartmental instructions have succeeded in terrorism, the latest version of November 12th 2015. All these texts are intended to establish a framework for action clearer. But what goals meet these texts?
For the record it has been chosen in France in the 80’s when Robert Badinter was Minister of Justice, to have recourse to INAVEM Network Associations to help all victims of crime.
The INAVEM was established in 1986 to facilitate and coordinate all the actions of these associations; INAVEM currently includes 130 associations distributed throughout metropolitan France and overseas, under agreement with the Ministry of Justice, for closer actions to the victims.

D5 Therapeutic photo confrontation (TPC)
(Herman de Mönnink, Trauma psychologist)
'I suddenly lost my daughter by the accident, but I lost her again when were excluded from all details of the tragedy,'
In this TPC-workshop Herman de Monnink (traumapsychologist) and Johanna van Rossum (casemanager Victim support Netherlands, VSN) will show when and how to use the TPC-tool meeting the Victim needs in sudden death cases (caused by terrorist attacks, tragic/aircraft accidents, homocide, suicide or natural disasters like tsunami and Earthquakes).
Herman will demonstrate TPC-principles and steps by the casestudy of Mrs. (45) and Mr. Sudden (46) who lost their daughter Beverly (19) with a tragic trainaccident. This case study shows how to meet victim needs for information, for a proper goodbye and for closure.
Johanna will demonstrate the role of TPC in victims of MH17 terrorist aircraft disaster.
Dineke Peters (project manager customization of VSN) will conclude with evidence for TPC from a study of Leiden University. TPC is effectively meeting the needs of sudden death victims in stead of patronizing victims saying 'it is better not viewing and knowing details of the tragic sudden death'.
'My experience with the TPC is that by viewing the dead body of my loved one it seems as I have her with me and no questions remain.'
D4 Cross-border cases, especially murder abroad
(Marjo Searle-van Leeuwen, FNG-VOVK)
Cross-Border cases, especially murders abroad, cause untold extra problems for the bereaved families. Not only are they affected by the deep trauma of the murder of a loved one, but they are extremely vulnerable and need practical as well as emotional support in order to cope. They face enormous difficulties in repatriating the body, obtaining information, translating documents and understanding the judicial processes in another country, another language, another culture. There is no clear and established way to provide support, it has not been incorporated into most existing Victim Support organisations.
The UK Peer Support organisation "Murdered Abroad" (up to now known as SAMM-Abroad) has offered support and assistance, based on the experiences of their more than 200 members. In the Netherlands a group has been working in close relationship with SAMM-Abroad for the last 15 years, within the context of the FNG-VOVK formed by parents/relatives of murder victims. It is clear that there is at the moment a difference in levels of support, and that by taking better account of the needs of the bereaved, services could be made more effective.
What those needs are for Cross-Border cases will be discussed using a survey of the experiences of more than 50 of the families bereaved by murder abroad: "Who cares for the Families'.
D1 Learn how to connect: an introduction to smart use of social technology in...
(Martin Pronk, digidoen)
Information is available everywhere 24/7. Having the right skills to use social technology in a professional way becomes more and more important. In this workshop inspiring cases and practical tips and tricks will be presented that will help to filter, store, re-find and share relevant information using social media and digital technology. A short introduction to the use of collaborations tools’ will give insight in how these tools can help organisations to work together in an efficient, transparent and pleasant way.
C7 Victim rights’ and the right to a fair trial
(Alex Sas, Slachtofferhulp Nederland)
Human rights play an important role in the criminal procedure. Traditionally, they provide protection to the accused. These rights are firmly anchored in the European Convention on Human Rights. But what about the rights of the victim? The European Directive sets out the rights assigned to the victim, but how do they relate to the rights of the accused? Is the victim also entitled to a fair trial?
C6 Prevention of sexual exploitation of children starts with knowledge on vul...
(Sjoerd van Bemmel, Bureau of the Rapporteur on Trafficking in Human Beings and Sexual Violence against Children)
In a recent report, The Dutch Rapporteur on Trafficking in Human Beings and Sexual Violence against Children examined seven groups of children to see how vulnerable they may be to sexual exploitation. In this workship, three groups, namely children from the Roma community, Syrian childbrides and children from the LGBT community will be discussed. Children who are not normally associated with sexual exploitation, but who have an increased risk of becoming victim. Frank Noteboom, researcher from the Dutch National Rapporteur, will approach these groups from a human trafficking perspective. From this angle, new insights appear in how to protect these groups from possible sexual exploitation. To conclude with words of Wayne Dyer: 'If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change'.
C4 Cross border support for cross border victims: a knowledge sharing experiment
(Sonja Leferink, Slachtofferhulp Nederland)
This workshop session (90 minutes) is meant as an introduction to the effectiveness and also the fun of knowledge sharing sessions by addressing an urgent topic that needs a cross border strategy: support for cross border victims.
According to the EU directive, member States are obliged to provide non-residents with the same rights and provisions as nationals after victimisation. There is a European helpline for victims but it is operated in only a few countries. There is no structure or procedure in place to ensure that non-resident victims (such as tourists) receive information, support and compensation after having returned to their home country.
During this workshop we will identify the most urgent problems concerning the cross border support of victims. By applying simple but effective methods we will draw up a series of possible solutions that will be relatively easy and cheap to implement.
We want to finish by drafting a proposal for the Executive Board of the VSE for improving cross-border victim support by offering our analysis and solutions.
C3 Giving voice: Restorative justice approaches that connect and empower!
(Annemieke Wolthuis & Daria Nashat, European Forum for Restorative Justice)
This workshop presentation will offer research-based insights on restorative justice approaches that can empower and connect those who have been harmed. The presentation will start out with a short visualization highlighting some key facts about restorative justice approaches and practices. In a second step, the workshop will invite everyone to participate on restorative practice. In closing, participants will reflect on the practical relevance and applicability of the restorative justice activity for their daily work.
C1 Een kennismaking met het slim gebruiken van sociale technologie in het dig...
(Martin Pronk, digidoen)
Informatie is overal 24/7 beschikbaar. Het wordt steeds belangrijker om te beschikken over ‘digitale vaardigheden’ om op een professionele manier om te kunnen gaan informatie. In deze workshop een overzicht van inspirerende voorbeelden en tips die helpen bij het filteren, opslaan, terugvinden en delen van informatie en kennis gebruikmakend van sociale media en digitale technologie. Tevens een korte introductie over het gebruik van digitale kantoren waarmee het mogelijk is om op een efficiënte, transparante en plezierige manier met elkaar samen te werken.
B8 Cross-cultural and comparative victimology
(Eva Mulder & Antony Pemberton, Intervict. Also representatives from APAV and LINC will participate in this workshop)
To what extent do cultural differences and diverse historical trajectories lead to different understandings, valuation and experiences of victimisation and the reaction to victimisation? This is the topic of a second workshop. It presents and discusses key findings from project IVOR (Implementing Victim-Oriented Reform of the Criminal Justice System in the European Union) which sought to ascertain the progress made in the development of the position of victims of crime across Europe. This project was led by APAV, in cooperation with INTERVICT, the Leuven Institute of Criminology (LINC) and VSE.
IVOR concerned three interrelated work-streams. The state of the art concerning the transposal of the EU-directive into legislation and practice, a review of the current empirical evidence base of the provisions of the Directive across Europe and an analysis of the different context in EU member states. The highlights of each of the results of the work-streams will be presented.
Subsequently we will invite participants to reflect with us, how given the diverse contexts in EU member states, and the relative lack of empirical research across large parts of the EU, we could best go about improving the position of victims, to achieve the Directive’s goal of minimum standards across the European Union. Can we advance on the current one-size-fits-all approach still underlying the EU’s efforts, and if so how?

C8 Narrative victimology. A cultural understanding of victim experience
(Irma Cleven & Pauline Aarten from Intervict)
Cultural victimology also recognizes key phenomena related to culture - for instance the understanding of history, art and mass-media - as emerging as important sites for victimological research (Pemberton, Aarten, Mulder, 2015). A particularly important site for victimological research concerns narratives. This narrative victimology draws upon the increasing understanding of the importance of narrative to psychological and sociological processes, while outlining the particular importance of story-telling to victims coping, sense- and meaning making processes.
Two large Intervict-projects have sought to understanding victims experiences, and in particular their experiences with justice through narrative. The first concentrates on the experiences of victims of relatively severe crime in the Netherlands. In Stories of justice and injustice, participants were invited to consider their victimisation experience and the ensuing justice process against the backdrop of their life stories. To what extent should we understand the criminal justice process as part of this unfolding story rather than as a relatively separate reaction to victimization? Should we understand victim participation in the process as a means to achieve a specific aim or as an attempt to connect victims experience with the justice process? How do victims come to terms with the narrative rupture in their lives? The second considers the experience of victims of large scale conflict with reparations programmes, again with the inclusion of their life story as well as the collective historical narrative. How do victims understand the comparison between their own story of victimization and the narrative that surrounds them? To what extent to stories of victimisaiton – so called chosen trauma’s from the past shape current day experience and how do they figure in individual victim’s stories? Participants in the workshop will also be asked to consider narratives of victimization that form part of their own cultural heritage, as well as the manner in which they are relevant today.
Victims of crime in the EU: the extent and nature of support for victims
Preface
Support services to victims of crime are essential to victims’ rights. Crime victims need support so they can access the justice system. This report by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) analyses victim sup‐ port services in the European Union (EU) and is an important source of information for us, policymakers, on how well victim services are implemented across EU Member States and which gaps remain.
The Victims’ Directive is a big step forward for victims of crime. All victims have the right to effective access to jus‐ tice as laid down in Article 47 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. However, this right only becomes a practical reality when victims are aware that such support exists and get help to make use of it. As the report shows, in the absence of victim support services, it is likely that victims will not report their experiences, and will nd it dif cult to navigate their way through the legal system to see their case through.
FRA’s report clearly shows the different traditions underlying victim support services in the EU Member States. We should welcome this diversity of approaches. However, there are essential characteristics that all victim support ser‐ vices must share. For example, they should be available to all victims free of charge, and must not be dependent on other criteria such as a victim’s residence status or whether they have reported a crime to the police.
This report is a useful overview of the support services available to crime victims in the EU today. Together with FRA’s other work on access to justice and its large scale surveys of groups that are disproportionally likely to become victims of crime, this report can help us to better understand and improve support for victims of crime throughout the EU.

This workshop will discuss what the VRA has achieved in working with the police, DPP, department of Justice & other stakeholders.
A8 Aspects of Cultural Victimology / Aspecten van culturele victimologie
(Antony Pemberton, Intervict) - Victimologie heeft een opmerkelijke groei doorgemaakt in de afgelopen decennia. Slachtoffers zijn niet langer de 'vergeten groep' van het strafrecht. Echter, de opkomst van de victimologie is in twee opzichten eenzijdig geweest. Slachtoffers van bepaalde vormen van crimineel gedrag (huiselijk en seksueel geweld bijvoorbeeld) hebben de meeste academische en politieke belangstelling gekregen en het onderzoek naar slachtofferschap is voornamelijk geconcentreerd in de Angelsaksische wereld en enkele landen die cultureel en politiek in veel opzichten vergelijkbaar zijn. De culturele victimologie wil over grenzen heen kijken en zich richten op wat ontbreekt in de huidige aanpak van wetenschappelijk onderzoek.
B7 Human Rights And Victims' Rights
Anne-Marie Wolf (ASP/Wolf Advocaten), Edwin Bosch (ASP/VBS Advocaten) & Alex Sas (Slachtofferhulp Nederland)
We would like to take you with us in our daily experiences and show you some of the problems we meet in giving the victim good protection during the criminal trial (safety, privacy, avoid secondary victimization).
During the workshop we hope to work with:
• A debating session (plenary debate with participant using voting cards or interactive voting methods);
• A casuistic session (discussion relevant issues using real life cases or victims’ stories);

A4 Compensation for victims of human trafficking: pitfalls & possibilities
(Karin Burgerhout, FairWork)
FairWork is an NGO fighting human trafficking in the Netherlands. Part of our work is victim support in the field of severe labour exploitation. Within our work with victims of exploitation, compensation is a recurrent theme. Both experience and research show that compensation is vital for personal recovery and reintegration after trafficking. In this workshop we will look into possibilities for compensation after human trafficking by studying a recent case. We will compare the options within the scope of both criminal and civil procedures and discuss which other routes to compensation are available to victims of trafficking. Throughout this workshop, the victim’s perspective will be leading. There will be room for discussion on the meaning of compensation and on the ways of supporting victims in their efforts to obtain compensation, as well as for the exchange of (international) experiences on this topic.
D4 Challenges and solutions providing support to cross-border victims of crim...
(An Verelst, Victim Support Europe)
Considering the increased mobility of people in the EU and the increasingly globalized crime, people are more and more becoming a victim of crime in a Member State other than their own. Estimates show that 2 million people fall victim to cross-border crimes ever year in Europe.
Victim Support Europe conducted a study to identify the challenges and potential solutions in supporting victims of cross-border crimes questioning victim support organisations and consular services. The study showed factors by victim support organisations around Europe to be linked to cross-border victimization that can potentially form barriers to ensure victims of cross-border crimes can enjoy their rights. Language, timing, culture, practical difficulties, and distance are some of the main factors that can prove to be challenging when supporting these victims. This workshop will depict the potential challenges cross-border victims face in the different phases in the aftermath of crime – from the moment the crime occurred, the investigative phases, the trail and in the long-term. Additionally, it will zoom in on good practices and promising solutions that exist in Europe.
C4 Report Workshop cross border victims support 26 may 2016
Workshop Report
An automatic text message with information on local victim support when you cross a border. A ‘victim bible’ in every hotel room. A dedicated expert/coordinator who manages cross border victim cases in each victim support organisation as part of an international network within the VSE. These are but a few of the many ideas the participants came up with after being challenged to think of at least 10 simple but brilliant ideas to improve cross border support for cross border victims.
The workshop was part of the cross-border victims series but had in fact a dual objective: a practice in creative knowledge sharing (elaborating on some ideas presented during the keynote ‘A house of knowledge for a learning community) in service of the improvement of cross border victim support. Which is in fact a major challenge for Victim Support Europe and the individual EU member states and national victim support organisations.
C7 Access to Justice for Victims of Hate Crimes: the Views of Professionals
(Matylda Pogorzelska, European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA))
FRA has researched practical aspects of access to justice for victims of hate crimes. In total, 263 interviews with police officers, public prosecutors and judges and practitioners working for victim support services were carried out in all 28 EU Member States. Racism and xenophobia, sexual orientation or gender identity and islamophobia seem to be the most prevalent grounds for attacks or threats of violence. Additionally, the findings show that over half of the respondents indicate that public incitement to racist or xenophobic, islamophobic, homophobic and transphobic hostilities constitutes a problem in respective member States. State’s indifference needs to acknowledged as it was pointed out that politicians and other important persons very often are those who start openly express discriminatory attitudes and then, without a serious reaction from the State, it only develops further. Another important aspect is a phenomenon of cyber hate which seems to be totally “out of control”. Several actions could prevent hateful speech in the public sphere, such as: no tolerance of discriminatory speech in political discourses; efforts to monitor hate speech on the Internet; criminalising Holocaust denial and ensuring a common language and understanding of hate crime among all practitioners.

Last year, terrorists struck twice indiscriminately on innocent people by surprise by attacking defenceless crowds in order to sow panic, terrorists seek to undermine our way of life ...
The terrorist’s acts make many victims, deceased people, the bereaved, injured or shocked people not to mention the attention that we must bring witnesses, caregivers, who carried anonymous support and caring support ... Also it is impossible to know the exact number of people affected by terrorism but we believe they should all be able to receive support tailored to their needs.
In France, the writings on the management modalities of the victims of terrorist acts date back more than thirty years ago and have been the subject of numerous works between different actors involved with victims. Have we been able to learn from the past?
Certainly, methodological guides were developed both in support of the victims of attacks that collective events certainly interdepartmental instructions have succeeded in terrorism, the latest version of November 12th 2015. All these texts are intended to establish a framework for action clearer. But what goals meet these texts?
For the record it has been chosen in France in the 80’s when Robert Badinter was Minister of Justice, to have recourse to INAVEM Network Associations to help all victims of crime.
The INAVEM was established in 1986 to facilitate and coordinate all the actions of these associations; INAVEM currently includes 130 associations distributed throughout metropolitan France and overseas, under agreement with the Ministry of Justice, for closer actions to the victims.

D5 Therapeutic photo confrontation (TPC)
(Herman de Mönnink, Trauma psychologist)
'I suddenly lost my daughter by the accident, but I lost her again when were excluded from all details of the tragedy,'
In this TPC-workshop Herman de Monnink (traumapsychologist) and Johanna van Rossum (casemanager Victim support Netherlands, VSN) will show when and how to use the TPC-tool meeting the Victim needs in sudden death cases (caused by terrorist attacks, tragic/aircraft accidents, homocide, suicide or natural disasters like tsunami and Earthquakes).
Herman will demonstrate TPC-principles and steps by the casestudy of Mrs. (45) and Mr. Sudden (46) who lost their daughter Beverly (19) with a tragic trainaccident. This case study shows how to meet victim needs for information, for a proper goodbye and for closure.
Johanna will demonstrate the role of TPC in victims of MH17 terrorist aircraft disaster.
Dineke Peters (project manager customization of VSN) will conclude with evidence for TPC from a study of Leiden University. TPC is effectively meeting the needs of sudden death victims in stead of patronizing victims saying 'it is better not viewing and knowing details of the tragic sudden death'.
'My experience with the TPC is that by viewing the dead body of my loved one it seems as I have her with me and no questions remain.'
D4 Cross-border cases, especially murder abroad
(Marjo Searle-van Leeuwen, FNG-VOVK)
Cross-Border cases, especially murders abroad, cause untold extra problems for the bereaved families. Not only are they affected by the deep trauma of the murder of a loved one, but they are extremely vulnerable and need practical as well as emotional support in order to cope. They face enormous difficulties in repatriating the body, obtaining information, translating documents and understanding the judicial processes in another country, another language, another culture. There is no clear and established way to provide support, it has not been incorporated into most existing Victim Support organisations.
The UK Peer Support organisation "Murdered Abroad" (up to now known as SAMM-Abroad) has offered support and assistance, based on the experiences of their more than 200 members. In the Netherlands a group has been working in close relationship with SAMM-Abroad for the last 15 years, within the context of the FNG-VOVK formed by parents/relatives of murder victims. It is clear that there is at the moment a difference in levels of support, and that by taking better account of the needs of the bereaved, services could be made more effective.
What those needs are for Cross-Border cases will be discussed using a survey of the experiences of more than 50 of the families bereaved by murder abroad: "Who cares for the Families'.

In this workshop inspiring cases and practical tips and tricks will be presented that will help to filter, store, re-find and share relevant information using social media and digital technology. A short introduction to the use of collaborations tools’ will give insight in how these tools can help organisations to work together in an efficient, transparent and pleasant way.
C7 Victim rights’ and the right to a fair trial
(Alex Sas, Slachtofferhulp Nederland)
Human rights play an important role in the criminal procedure. Traditionally, they provide protection to the accused. These rights are firmly anchored in the European Convention on Human Rights. But what about the rights of the victim? The European Directive sets out the rights assigned to the victim, but how do they relate to the rights of the accused? Is the victim also entitled to a fair trial?
C6 Prevention of sexual exploitation of children starts with knowledge on vul...
(Sjoerd van Bemmel, Bureau of the Rapporteur on Trafficking in Human Beings and Sexual Violence against Children)
In a recent report, The Dutch Rapporteur on Trafficking in Human Beings and Sexual Violence against Children examined seven groups of children to see how vulnerable they may be to sexual exploitation. In this workship, three groups, namely children from the Roma community, Syrian childbrides and children from the LGBT community will be discussed. Children who are not normally associated with sexual exploitation, but who have an increased risk of becoming victim. Frank Noteboom, researcher from the Dutch National Rapporteur, will approach these groups from a human trafficking perspective. From this angle, new insights appear in how to protect these groups from possible sexual exploitation. To conclude with words of Wayne Dyer: 'If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change'.
C4 Cross border support for cross border victims: a knowledge sharing experiment
(Sonja Leferink, Slachtofferhulp Nederland)
This workshop session (90 minutes) is meant as an introduction to the effectiveness and also the fun of knowledge sharing sessions by addressing an urgent topic that needs a cross border strategy: support for cross border victims.
According to the EU directive, member States are obliged to provide non-residents with the same rights and provisions as nationals after victimisation. There is a European helpline for victims but it is operated in only a few countries. There is no structure or procedure in place to ensure that non-resident victims (such as tourists) receive information, support and compensation after having returned to their home country.
During this workshop we will identify the most urgent problems concerning the cross border support of victims. By applying simple but effective methods we will draw up a series of possible solutions that will be relatively easy and cheap to implement.
We want to finish by drafting a proposal for the Executive Board of the VSE for improving cross-border victim support by offering our analysis and solutions.
C3 Giving voice: Restorative justice approaches that connect and empower!

In deze workshop een overzicht van inspirerende voorbeelden en tips die helpen bij het filteren, opslaan, terugvinden en delen van informatie en kennis gebruikmakend van sociale media en digitale technologie. Tevens een korte introductie over het gebruik van digitale kantoren waarmee het mogelijk is om op een efficiënte, transparante en plezierige manier met elkaar samen te werken.
B8 Cross-cultural and comparative victimology
(Eva Mulder & Antony Pemberton, Intervict. Also representatives from APAV and LINC will participate in this workshop)
To what extent do cultural differences and diverse historical trajectories lead to different understandings, valuation and experiences of victimisation and the reaction to victimisation? This is the topic of a second workshop. It presents and discusses key findings from project IVOR (Implementing Victim-Oriented Reform of the Criminal Justice System in the European Union) which sought to ascertain the progress made in the development of the position of victims of crime across Europe. This project was led by APAV, in cooperation with INTERVICT, the Leuven Institute of Criminology (LINC) and VSE.
IVOR concerned three interrelated work-streams. The state of the art concerning the transposal of the EU-directive into legislation and practice, a review of the current empirical evidence base of the provisions of the Directive across Europe and an analysis of the different context in EU member states. The highlights of each of the results of the work-streams will be presented.
Subsequently we will invite participants to reflect with us, how given the diverse contexts in EU member states, and the relative lack of empirical research across large parts of the EU, we could best go about improving the position of victims, to achieve the Directive’s goal of minimum standards across the European Union. Can we advance on the current one-size-fits-all approach still underlying the EU’s efforts, and if so how?

B7 Privacy true the eyes of the victim
Anne-Marie Wolf (ASP/Wolf Advocaten), Edwin Bosch (ASP/VBS Advocaten) & Alex Sas (Slachtofferhulp Nederland)
We would like to take you with us in our daily experiences and show you some of the problems we meet in giving the victim good protection during the criminal trial (safety, privacy, avoid secondary victimization).
During the workshop we hope to work with:
• A debating session (plenary debate with participant using voting cards or interactive voting methods);
• A casuistic session (discussion relevant issues using real life cases or victims’ stories);
• further on we hope to get some support of case managers working in Victim Support Holland
We (Anne-Marie Wolf & Edwin Bosch) are both members of the board of the association of ASP (Advocaten voor Slachtoffers van Personenschade / Lawyers working with victims off personal injury) and both personal injury lawyers, specialist in the support of victims of severe criminal misconduct (modern slavery, rape).
B5 The recovery-phase in the aftermath of mass violence or terrorism
(Annelieke Drogendijk, Impact & Rob Sardemann, Slachtofferhulp Nederland)
The recovery-phase of a terrorist attack can range up to years and requires thoughtful strategic planning and action to address the impact of a terrorist attack for victims. Disaster recovery is an essential part of emergency management and a complex and challenging process that involves many stakeholders. Victim service providers, mental health specialists, the criminal justice system, investigation agencies and governmental departments must work together in the recovery-phase in the aftermath of mass violence or terrorism. In this workshop we will elaborate in what way the Netherlands is prepared for the recovery phase. We will also describe the recovery-phase after the shooting down of flight MH17 and share lessons learned.
B4 “Prioritising protection: gender-based violence and the rights of undocume...
(Alyna Smith, Platform for International Cooperation on Undocumented Migrants, PICUM)
Victims of crimes often need assistance to overcome the consequences of their victimisation on their mental and physical health, and to ensure their safety. Accessing this support is particularly challenging for undocumented victims, who are often at greater risk of victimisation due to structural factors, including laws and policies that prioritise immigration enforcement over their safety and protection, exacerbating their exploitation at work, at home, and elsewhere.
This workshop focuses on the specific challenges confronted by undocumented women who are victims of crimes, including gender-based violence, in getting the help they need. It begins by outlining states’ obligations to provide them with protection, support and services under two key instruments:
(1) the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence (“Instanbul Convention”), and (2) the EU Directive 2012/29/EU establishing minimum standards on the rights, support and protection of victims of crime (“Victims’ Directive”). It then turns to consider the reality of their situation in the Netherlands, framed by real examples of undocumented women’s experiences; and the essential role of NGO’s in providing or connecting them with key services and support, and calling attention to shortcomings in law and practice and their impact on women.
B2 Ondersteuning van slachtoffers van terrorisme / grensoverschrijdend slacht...
(An Verelst, Victim Support Europe & Victor Jammers, Slachtofferhulp Nederland)
Burgers van de Europese Unie worden steeds mobieler. Daarmee neemt ook de kans toe dat iemand slachtoffer wordt van een misdrijf in het buitenland. Naar schatting gaat het in de Europese Unie jaarlijks om circa twee miljoen burgers. Victim Support Europe heeft een studie uitgevoerd naar grensoverschrijdend slachtofferschap. Wat zijn de knelpunten die slachtoffers in die situaties ervaren bij het uitoefenen van hun slachtofferrechten? Denk daarbij aan aspecten als taal en cultuur, maar ook het feit dat een strafproces op honderden of duizenden kilometers afstand plaatsvindt. En wat zijn mogelijke oplossingen? Die vraagstukken doen zich ook voor na terroristische aanslagen als in Parijs en Brussel. Extra complicatie daarbij is het feit dat het vaak om grote aantallen slachtoffers in korte tijd gaat, die lang niet allemaal goed geregistreerd worden. Wat moet er voor deze slachtoffers georganiseerd worden voor de korte, middellange en lange termijn?
A6 Police interviews with child victims of sexual assault: a linguistic persp...
(Guusje Jol, Radboud University)
Sexual assault often takes place in one-on-one situations. Therefore, one of the few ways of gaining an answer to the question ‘what happened?’ is asking the victim.
Naturally, this must be done in a sensitive and careful way, especially when the abuse concerns children. In the Netherlands, children under twelve are interviewed in a special child-friendly interview room. The police officers are trained to approach the child in an age-appropriate manner in order to safeguard both the well-being of the child and the reliability of the evidence. Yet, an investigative interview is a different kind of interaction than in the class room, the playground or at home. So the question is: how do police officer and child deal with the situation and with one another?
In the workshop, participants try to answer this question by exploring the basis of the police interview: the turn by turn exchange of talk. They will look closely at transcribed examples from real interviews and will discover how police officer and child use language not merely as a vehicle to ‘transfer information’. It will become clear that language in the interviews is both used to perform actions and to manage mutual social relationships.

(Levent Altan, Victim Support Europe, Carol North, Victim Support UK, Heather Cartwright, US Department of Justice, Office of Victims of Terrorism Abroad)
This workshop focuses on Support needs of victims of terrorism in the crisis phase, transition to short term, and in the medium and long term. It furthermore looks at appropriate international and national responses to improve rights and support for different groups of victims of terrorism.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale war
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.
