In addition to this, the role of the Victim Champion coordinator was to deliver the Making WAVES project (Anderson et al, 2008) in the Anfield area. Evaluations of the Making WAVES projects implemented in other areas across Liverpool (Anderson et al, 2008; Eckley et al, 2011; Quigg et al, 2011; Warren et al, 2011) have shown them to be successful in: providing tailored support to intimidated victims and witnesses, encouraging them to enter and progress through the criminal justice system; facilitating a multiagency approach to tackling crime and providing support; and building trust between the community and local agencies. The Making WAVES strand of the Victim Champion project was introduced in Anfield, an area where residents were subjected to high rates of crime and intimidation (Harrison et al, 2010a). The Centre for Public Health at Liverpool John Moores University has been commissioned to conduct a process and outcome evaluation of the Victim Champion project, specifically the Anfield Making WAVES element. In 2010, a community crime and witness intimidation survey was conducted to inform the development of the project (Harrison et al, 2010a). An interim process evaluation report was produced in November 2010, providing recommendations for project development in its early stages (Harrison et al, 2010b). This report provides the overall evaluation, including: caseload analysis; key partner and project user views on the project; and an assessment of the impact of the project on crime and intimidation in the local community.

Author: Eckley, Lindsay Title: Speke. Making Waves. Final Evaluation Report Summary: Following the successful development and implementation of the Making WAVES pilot project in Breckfield, Liverpool (Anderson et al, 2008), in 2009 the project was established in Speke to facilitate local multi-agency work in identifying intimidated witnesses and supporting them through the criminal justice system (CJS) and beyond (Anderson et al, 2008). At that time, there were high levels of crime in the neighbourhood and residents were reluctant to report crime to any agency due to the fear of reprisals and of being labelled a grass (Furness et al, 2009). The Speke Making WAVES project was implemented to help alleviate such issues by acting as a neutral and confidential route for reporting crime and providing access to support services. The Centre for Public Health at Liverpool John Moores University was commissioned to conduct a process and outcome evaluation of the project. This report summarises the overall evaluation, including: project implementation and development; project benefits and impact; caseload analysis; key partner and project user views on Making WAVES; and project recommendations.
