Perhaps a solution would a % of ALL fines to be dedicated towards helping ALL victims, whatever the crime was (violent or otherwise)
A speeding motorist is a potential killer and a £60 fine taught me not to break 'the rules'

It taught me twice Margaret. I'm not against this idea but I also feel that Less's point is valid. If we punished offenders in the first place maybe we wouldn't have such a problem. If a man got five years, and I mean five years maybe he'd be less of a bully when he got out.
But the point of this is support for the victims and it must be paid for from somewhere.
