Recommendation 8
8
Victims experience significant difficulty reporting fraud due to unclear processes.
Conclusion
Many victims of fraud find it difficult to know how to report the crime. It needs to be made much clearer to victims how they can report a crime, as the current lack of clarity brings added distress to the process. We acknowledge that increasing awareness of Action Fraud will place increased pressure on the already stretched reporting service, but it is vital that victims feel able to report their crimes both for the individual to feel that they are being listened to, and also to help build a national picture of fraud crimes. (Paragraph 37) 38 Fraud and the Justice System
