The Compensation for Victims of Crime program provides compensation to victims who suffer personal injury, hardships or expenses as a result of certain crimes. The program is also available to specific relatives and dependants of victims of homicide in Manitoba.
If someone has been injured as a result of a crime, or someone is an immediate family member of a person killed due to a crime, that person may be entitled to compensation. People may also be compensated if they were injured while helping a police officer or while trying to prevent a crime.
To apply for compensation, the offender does not need to have been caught, but a formal report must be made to the police.
Compensation may cover reasonable expenses (not already covered by another source) resulting from a crime, including:
