Intimidation/victimisation.
Where there are grounds to fear that a victim/witness is being or is likely to be intimidated or further victimised, details should be provided. Include any specific arrangements for protection and attendance at court. Provide details if the witness is unlikely, through fear, to attend court and give evidence. Liaison between the police, CPS and courts over victim and witness care should continue throughout the life of the case. Particular regard should be given to cases involving racist motivation where there are grounds to fear racial intimidation.
