The serious cases which ended up with imprisonment in UK can be reheard after a certain period, if the Parole Board considered the convict eligible to be released on parole. The victims in these cases are noticed by the authorities in charge, if the person who serves a sentence wants to be released on parole. This is the case when an individual can make a victim statement if he/she doesn't agree with the decision of the Parole Board. If the victim, in this case, has died or is a minor, the close relatives are the ones who can make a victim statement. It is good to know that the mentally disordered persons cannot make a victim statement, but the family members can do so on their behalf.

Our lawyer in UK is able to offer proper guidance if you have decided to write a victim statement. Such a declaration needs to contain your personal and sincere opinion regarding whether the offender needs to be released on parole or not if you fear for your life once the convict is released and the ways in which the criminal conduct has affected you and your family. The Parole Board receives the victim's statement and it is recommended not to offer too many details about the crime involved in your case, but to focus on the idea of whether the offender should be released from prison or not. If you find difficulties in writing a victim statement, our criminal solicitors in London can guide you in this matter in legal terms.

It is good to know that the victim statement can be read by the prisoner who wants to be released on parole before the hearing in this matter takes place. At request, a victim of a serious offence can solicit to the authorities to deny the right of the prisoner to access the declaration, if he/she comes with strong evidence or information that the family is put at risk or if a further offence can occur in the future. This is an exceptional situation that needs to be properly analyzed.
