In the aftermath: Listening to people bereaved by homicide

Lesley Malone

formerly Victim Support National Office, lesleymalone{at}ntlworld.com

This article presents some of the key findings from a study of bereavement by homicide, based on interviews with bereaved people and personnel from Victim Support, the probation service, the police and voluntary organizations. It outlines some of the emotional and practical aspects of traumatic bereavement and the needs that subsequently arise, with particular regard to bereaved people's involvement with the criminal justice system. Recommendations for improved probation service, police and Victim Support responses are proposed.

Key Words: homicide • traumatic bereavement • support services • Victim Support
