Anyone who’s ever been the victim of a crime, no matter how small it is perceived to be, will know that it’s not simply the immediate effects of the crime itself that are felt. The impact can last for days, months and years, and can affect people far beyond the immediate victims, and manifest itself in many ways.
Often the judicial process can be lengthy and complex, and even if the perpetrator is convicted, it does not always lead to a satisfactory conclusion for the victim, who often has many questions that remain unanswered.
With summer drawing to a close, and the evenings starting to get noticeably cooler you might be tempted to light a fire, rather than put the central heating on.
Are you be sure your chimney is clean and ready to light?
From 7-13 September, Chimney Fire Safety Week takes place providing a timely reminder to make sure that your chimney is ready for the winter months ahead. Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service are supporting this Fire Kills campaign by encouraging householders to ensure their chimney is safe and swept by a registered chimney sweep.

His latest show of observational comedy, Outside, Looking In, covers a wide range of subjects – from a recent gastric illness to the success of UKIP – but he talks a lot about his family and it's his most personal yet.
“I didn't make a conscious effort to write a more personal show, but that was what was coming out when I started writing it,” Ed says. “People come to see me for a laugh and I would like to think they go away thinking...
